Authenticity playbook
How to recognise an authentic souvenir in Rome
- 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.
