   During the period of St.Vigilio, the Saint Patron of Trento, they organize in the town one week of celebration, called "Vigilian Feasts". They first started in the Medieval period and are now proposed again with the characteristic garments of that period.

   The top event is the Goose Prize, a competition among several rafts along the Adige river. Another interesting appointment is the Tonca, the punishment of an important authority who is locked up in a cell and then plunged in the cold water of the river for just three times. 

   In the meanwhile a complete medieval suburb is prepared where you can find many artisans displaying their ancient jobs and even ancient local dishes. Within this location they dedicated a street to the craft of jewellery, just called "Good and Silver Street". The NIGI firm showed here some of his jewels: in the 2007 edition a  silver necklace composed by a rigid twisted thread with a pendant from the Gold of Alps collection, and the following year  another silver necklace with a pendant with some turquoise.
