Naples cooking

Oh dear. I found another ideal one. In Sorrento, Italy. Mami Camillo's is a cooking school and B&B in Sorrento, Italy. They will pick you up and deliver you from the Naples airport. They have all kinds of cooking courses, including a whole week on pizza.
"You learn about the wood stove and it's function, how to prepare the oven and obtain the correct temperature for the cooking of the pizza. You will learn the proper preparation of the pizza dough, the correct way to make it and also how to manipulate the dough to make the perfect pizza shape and crust. The different toppings as well as the tomatoes and mozzarella used with basil in the making of the famous Margherita pizza. The correct method used for transporting the pizza into the oven, the use of the different size pala for either the long pizza or the transporting of several pizzas, and the ways of ensuring the complete cooking of that perfect pizza. This is a completely hand on course, in fact at the beginning students start by making 10 pizzas an hour. Three of the main practical activities in this class are manipulating the dough, shaping it, dressing, and the cooking time. Because of this the maximum numbers of students allowed per class is three. Basically in one week the students learn the basic knowledge of the Neapolitan pizza and its importance in our cuisine, as well as a complete range of pizza toppings, and how to produce a perfect pizza crust.
