Combine stuffing mixture, sage, salt, oregano, thyme, pepper and Italian Seasoning in large bowl. Stir in onion mixture and eggs. Add stock and mix well. Set aside.
For Goose: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rinse goose inside and out; pat dry, using paper towel. Rub goose inside and out with halved lemon. Season goose inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill main cavity and neck cavity loosely with stuffing. Place any remaining stuffing in small buttered baking dish and cover with foil.
Run fingers between breast meat and skin to loosen skin. Place bacon slices under breast skin. Wrap goose in cheesecloth. Place goose on rack set into large roasting pan. Roast goose 30 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Continue roasting until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part to thigh registers 180 degrees, basting every 20 minutes with pan juices, about 1 hour 20 minutes. (Place stuffing in covered baking dish in oven during last 40 minutes.)
Remove cheesecloth. Transfer goose to platter. Pass stuffing separately.
