I really would love to do this... vacation and take cooking classes in Italy - learn to make pasta, go shopping at the local markets, learn about the local produce, be exposed to different perspectives in cooking. But I am a vegetarian and do not consume eggs...
Does anyone know about one of these Italian cooking classes for vegetarians? I heard about one in a Food Netork show but was never able to locate the information for it.

There are several vegetarian cooking classes around Italy, but Bologna la grassa ia a real meaty town. If you search on Italy cooking class vegetarian, you're bound to find someone. Italy has a fair number of vegetarians, but hardly any vegans. Ergo: seek non-pasta classes. (Dried pasta made of hard wheat, like tubes and spaghetti, don't contain eggs. They are more difficult to make at home, so they are rarely taught in day classes.)
