How to recognise a typical souvenir in Bologna

  1. 1

    Ask where it's made

    A real artisan answers with precision: the quarter, the workshop, the tannery or the oven. Vague origins are a red flag.

  2. 2

    Check materials and technique

    Look at stitching, glaze thickness, weight, finish. Industrial shortcuts show up immediately under close inspection.

  3. 3

    Verify the price

    Hand-work has a price floor. Prices below the raw materials almost always signal mass production.

  4. 4

    Look for PDO, PGI, TSG marks

    For food, the EU quality marks guarantee a specific territory and production standard. Look for them on the label.
