Red & I are heading to Italy in June, and we're excited about our 3-weeks trip, touring Rome, Venice, Bologna, Florence, and Milan! One of the activities that we wanted to book prior to getting there is a cooking class in Bologna. We wanted to do all of them, of course, but can not fit all three into our trips! So, tell me, which one would you do from these classes below and why? Thank you!!
