Custom souvenirs for Bologna
Italy's food capital with medieval towers, 40 km of porticoes and Europe's oldest university. We design and produce souvenirs for shops, museums and attractions in Bologna: your landmark, your colours, your logo — not the generic stock every competitor carries.
Who buys souvenirs in Bologna
Red-brick, lively and less touristy than Florence, visited by food travellers, students, trade-fair visitors and Italians on weekends; a rail hub for Tuscany and the Adriatic. Souvenirs sell in the Quadrilatero market lanes, around Piazza Maggiore, in delicatessens and at Marconi airport.
Seasonal peaks and events: Cioccoshow chocolate fair (Nov), Motor Show and Motor Valley Fest (May), Bologna Children's Book Fair (April) and Festa di San Petronio (Oct).

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for Bologna souvenirs?
From 100 pieces per design for printed magnets, keychains, mugs and textiles. Plush and snow globes start at 200–300 pieces. Designs can be mixed in one order.
Can you make souvenirs of The Two Towers?
Yes. We draw the illustration or 3D model of The Two Towers ourselves, you approve the mock-up, and only then production starts. The artwork is yours.
How long does a Bologna order take?
Printed products 3–6 weeks from approved artwork; plush, resin and snow globes 6–10 weeks. A sample is ready in 7–10 days. Delivery to Italy inside the EU takes 2–5 working days.
Do you sell to a single shop in Bologna?
Yes. Most of our orders come from individual shops, museums and attractions, not from chains. The minimums are set so a single location can order its own line.
Can we get exclusivity on a design in Bologna?
Yes. Designs made for you are not resold to other shops. If you want exclusivity on a whole product type in Bologna, say so when you request a quote.
