Siamo vegetariani? I'd suggest you prepare a card with an explanation of what your restrictions are and what your allowances are to present in restaurants. They may look at you a little funny, but generally they are very welcoming. Food is pretty much revered in Italy.

Hi Jeff... I don't know if you've already travelled to Italy (since I am only now replying in late June). Having just returned from Italy myself, I have to say that my husband and I had absolutely zero issues eating vegan in Italy. When ordering, we normally stated, "Siamo vegani (or siamo vegetaliani). Non mangiamo prodotti derivati da animali (come carne, pesce, burro, latte, formaggio, uova, miele)" -- translation: "We are vegans. We do not eat products derived from animals (like meat, fish, butter, milk, cheese, eggs, honey)." If you haven't gone yet, good luck and have fun there -- it's amazing! Regards :)
