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.

How an Italian quote is built
Italian jewellery is priced per gram of 18K (750) plus workmanship, and the workmanship premium on Italian chain and design work is higher than on plain Gulf-style pieces — you are paying for Arezzo and Vicenza craft. Investment gold is VAT-exempt as in the rest of the EU, while jewellery carries 22% IVA, so gold bought as an ornament and sold as metal loses the tax and the workmanship together.
Selling gold in Italy
Compro oro shops buy at melt value less a margin and must be registered and pay by traceable means above small amounts. Gains on investment gold are taxed as capital gains at 26%; since 2024 the taxable gain is the full sale price unless you can document the purchase cost, which makes the invoice essential.
Zakat nisab in EUR today
The gold nisab — the minimum wealth at which zakat becomes due — is 85 grams of pure gold. At today’s spot price that is about 10,232 EUR. If your zakatable wealth is above this, work out what you owe with our zakat calculator (live nisab, gold or silver method).

Why is the jeweller's price in Italy higher than this?+
This is the raw metal (spot) value. Shops add a premium plus making charges, and local taxes may apply, so the retail price is higher than spot.
Which karat is most common in Italy?+
