Since the times the Etruscan and Romans populated the Bel Paese, the design and manufacture of jewels and accessories”Made in Italy” of gold, silver, coral, ivory, pearl, glass and other precious metals and stones are of excellent quality.

I recently visited a Museum in Este, near Padua, a beautiful small city, pre-roman settlement of the ancient Veneti population (the ancestors of the inhabitants of Venezia), and I was astonished to see the quality and modern design of jewels found in graves and archaeological areas. Not far form Este, the beautiful city of Vicenza is now the Italian capital of gold.

The area around the city is renown for the small laboratories producing jewels of all types, sizes and materials. Vicenza is also home of Palladio, the father or modern architecture (born in Padova), designer of the UNESCO ville venete. A place where arts and beauty generate other art and beauty.

I’m sure you have been to Firenze, or at least at some point Firenze will be your main destination in Italy. The windows of the gioiellieri in Ponte Vecchio are worth a sneak picture or, if you can afford it, the purchase of an eternal souvenir of the city. If you prefer Venezia, you can find the famous Murano glass or again gold on the Ponte di Rialto. There are other famous areas in Milan, Rome or Naples where you can find jewels and accessories. Read this post for learning more.

Of course Italy is also famous for other accessories, like silk neck-ties in the city of Como, or hand-made shoes, purses and bags, belts, hats and other beautiful objects. Let’s have a look together. Listen to the audio files and repeat for improving your pronunciation.
