How to recognise a typical souvenir in Trento

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

Check materials and technique

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

3

Verify the price

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

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.
