Gold in Italy: the local market
Italy is one of the world's great jewelry manufacturers — Arezzo and Vicenza export 18K ('oro 750') worldwide, and Italian chain-making machinery sets the global standard.
Domestic buyers focus on 18K jewelry and EU-standard VAT-exempt investment bars; 'compro oro' (cash-for-gold) shops are a fixture of Italian high streets.
