Roman cuisine. Roman cuisine is the cuisine of the Italian city of Rome.
Roman cuisine is based on seasonal ingredients mostly from Roman Campagna, and prepared in a simple way.[1] Among these, the most important are vegetables (typical are peas, globe artichokes and fava beans), meat (milk lamb and goat) and cheeses (Pecorino romano and ricotta).[2] A typical condiment in Roman cuisine is strutto, pork lard prepared and canned each winter.[1] Also used is the fat of prosciutto, while olive oil is used only for raw vegetables and - occasionally - to fry.[1] Specific dishes are often assigned to the days of the week, such as gnocchi on Thursday, baccalà (salted cod) on Fridays, and trippa for Saturdays.

Traditional Cucina Romana[edit] Oath of the Horatii. Oath of the Horatii (French: Le Serment des Horaces), is a large painting by the French artist Jacques-Louis David painted in 1784 and now on display in the Louvre in Paris.
The painting immediately became a huge success with critics and the public, and remains one of the best known paintings in the Neoclassical style. It depicts a scene from a Roman legend about a dispute between two warring cities; Rome and Alba Longa, when three brothers from a Roman family, the Horatii, agree to end the war by fighting three brothers from a family of Alba Longa, the Curiatii. The three brothers, all of whom appear willing to sacrifice their lives for the good of Rome, are shown saluting their father who holds their swords out for them.[1] The principal sources for the story behind David's Oath are the first book of Livy (sections 24-6) which was elaborated by Dionysius in book 3 of his Roman Antiquities.[2] However, the moment depicted in David's painting is his own invention.[3] Symbolic theme[edit]
