AP - The owner of my local gelateria (- who makes the best gelato in Somerset!) told me she did a one-week's course in Rimini to learn her trade.
I'll go and ask her where (- like I need an excuse for another one
) and post back later.

A recent article in the local paper here said that even the best "gelaterie" in town -- there are at least six or seven -- use prepackaged ingredients from Italy for flavours like hazelnut.
Then all you need are the other normal ingredients and a machine.

I have never found a gelato shop in the states that makes the "real thing"...so I bought a gelato machine.
I have good luck making stracciatella...but am still looking for a good fragola or limone recipe.
A tip..if you do make gelato at home and the recipe calls for vanilla beans..use quality soft beans..not the dried out stuff in bottles in supermarkets.

AP - Well - I thought she'd done a course in Rimini, but she tells me it was actually a 'fiera' (exhibition) she went to there. My mistake ...
Apparently this exhibition is an annual get-together of 'gelatai' held in Rimini every January. Eloise has given you next year's details. Here's the website:
http://www.sigep.it/
My acqaintance tells me she got lots of good tips there ...
If you read Italian, this site has lots of info and links:
http://www.fieradelgelato.it/
This page lists courses and schools throughout Italy:

Some other websites which might be of interest:

Hope this helps ...
