Ciao, vegetariani!

I'm visiting Italy soon, and I was wondering how easy it is to find vegetarian places to eat. I'll be in Rome mostly, but I also want to explore the smaller hill towns. My diet is simple; as long as there are fresh fruits, I'm happy. But it would be nice to check out some restaurants, too. Grazie

Anche, sto provando ad imparare parlare italiano (evidente?) :yes: Del consiglio?

Non abbiamo qualcuno dall'Italia sul VB?

Finally!!! I'm going to Italy in February!!!

You have to understand Italy was practically my first word once out of the birth canal. I studied the language (and the men :naughty:) for 6 years in school. I won Italian poetry and cooking awards, but nothing has satiated my thirst.

Anyway, now I get to go during Carnivale. I'm going to Venice, Ravenna, Padua, Verona, Lake Como, Pisa, Florence and Cortina.

The second I decided to go (mentally) an Italian man "noticed" me on one of my veggie dating sites. This trip is so destined. If I like it enough and figure out why I am so drawn to Italy, I could get my job to transfer me there in the next few years. :deal: I'm bursting at the seams you guys!!

Maybe I'll even meet that Italian vegetarian. I've found 2 separate Italian vegetarian "societies". The Italian Vegetarian Society and the Association of Italian Vegetarians. They both seem to say that there is still a big problem with schools, hospitals and government agencies not offering a suitable vegetarian option. However the restaurants, fast food places and even gas stations offer viable veggie, vegan, and even macrobiotic alternatives.

I don't see any issue with my trip. Wish I knew I was traveling with more veggies. Maybe I'll post something on one of those Italian boards and see if someone wants to sign up for a vacation in their own country.

Ho trascorso un anno in Italia e la mia famiglia è siciliana. Mangio la cucina vegetariana siciliana! DELIZIOS'ASSAI! :up:
