The Italian cuisine is based on fresh products and the Roman cuisine is no exception.
Italians generally buy fresh products daily and prepare meals in function of seasonal availability of products. Roman markets are very colorfull and are certainly worth a visit, if only to discover some new spices and vegetables that may be interesting to try.
So, while in Rome why not try to cook like Romans do and buy your meal's ingredients at the local market or grocery shop, instead of going to a supermarket (which will be a bit harder to find anyway)
