The Vicenza Goldsmith District: Tradition, Innovation, and Global Excellence

The Veneto region, particularly the area between Vicenza, Bassano del Grappa, and Trissino, confirms itself as one of Italy’s most prestigious industrial hubs.

This territory is home to an entire production chain, including leading companies in the production of machinery and technologies, manufacturers of semi-finished products and components for jewellery creation, as well as contemporary jewelry and high jewellery brands, and customized packaging and visual merchandising solutions.

The companies in this district not only keep traditional craftsmanship alive, but also continuously develop new technologies and designs, making Veneto a global leader in precious metal processing.

Vicenzaoro, Europe's leading event for the gold and jewellery world, is a must-attend appointment for all companies in the area. It is a unique opportunity to discover the industry’s excellence and immerse oneself in the artistic and cultural beauty of Vicenza. In fact, the event extends beyond the fairgrounds, involving the historic city center with a wide range of art, culture, and entertainment.

The Veneto Region, beyond its renowned goldsmithing tradition, is globally known for its rich artistic, cultural, and food and wine heritage, known as The Land of Venice.

Indeed, Vicenza is one of the most fascinating art cities in Northern Italy.

Famous as "the city of Palladio", Vicenza has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its extraordinary artistic and architectural wealth, with treasures like the loggias of the Palladian Basilica in Piazza dei Signori and the Teatro Olimpico.
One of Vicenza’s highlights is the Museo del Gioiello, located inside the Palladian Basilica. This 410-square-meter museum space is the first in Italy and one of the few in the world entirely dedicated to jewellery. Its 8 themed areas offer a selection of entirely Italian jewellery, showcasing the production of major maisons and small to medium-sized enterprises in the district, craftsmanship excellence, artistic experimentation, and the research of independent designers.

The success and growth of the Vicenza goldsmith district are supported by consortia and trade associations, which assist companies in their expansion both nationally and internationally. These organizations play a crucial role in promoting innovation and facilitating access to new markets, further strengthening the district’s position as a center of excellence.

The Vicenza goldsmith district represents a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, establishing itself as an essential reference point in the international jewellery scene.
With events like Vicenzaoro and the region’s rich cultural offerings, Veneto continues to be a destination of excellence for lovers of art, culture, and luxury.
