Vicenza, crowning jewel of Veneto, is one of Italy's wealthiest regions.
The area's industrial capacity is well-distributed throughout and largely composed of small and middle sized enterprises which blend into the surrounding landscape surprisingly well. Its commercial base consists primarily of industry and manufacturing.
The most important sector is the gold-working industry, composed of about 800 companies, strongly inclined to the export market and making a decisive contribution to Vicenza's commercial balance.
The three international exhibitions held every year make Vicenza
the capital of Italian goldsmithery. Its annual exports of nearly
170 Million Euros accounts for a full 35,4% of Italy's total national
gold exports.
Vicenza maintains a high profile in terms of its dedicated work force, the quality of its skilled workers and the solidity of its businesses. For the most part, these enterprises remain, producers in the tradition of their artisan forefathers.
