★★★★★
Finally an app that takes you to real workshops. I bought leather at Santa Croce, not the tourist market.

The scanner instantly flagged a non-certified glass piece. Saved me a €140 mistake.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Trouvenir, in one line?
The Italian app that combines authentic souvenirs, verified shops, an AI authenticity scanner and editorial paths across 30+ Italian cities.
How do you verify a souvenir?
Every entry is reviewed by the Trouvenir content desk: official sources (PDO/PGI/TSG, Slow Food Presidia, regional PAT), cross-checks with shops and in-person or video visits with makers. Each entry shows its last-updated date.
Which cities are covered?
30+ Italian cities with 340+ verified souvenirs and 180+ local dishes. Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples, Palermo, Turin, Bologna, Milan, Lecce, Genoa, Trieste, Perugia, Alghero and more.
How much does it cost?
The app is free on the App Store and Google Play. Some advanced features (unlimited scans, all editorial paths, full shop map) unlock with a single Premium purchase — no recurring subscription.
How does the AI scanner work?
Point the camera at an object: in seconds the AI returns the name, origin, cultural context and an authenticity score (authentic/touristy/unknown), with links to shops that actually sell the real thing.
Is Trouvenir official or public-funded?
Trouvenir is an independent editorial project, not a public institution. We work with official sources like eAmbrosia (PDO/PGI/TSG) and Slow Food but we are not sponsored by them.
Do shops pay to be listed?
No. Shops cannot pay to be included. Selection is editorial; if a shop slips on our criteria (closure, quality drop) it is removed.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Downloaded content (visited cities, favorited souvenirs, paths) is available offline. The AI scanner requires a connection.
