Why buy gold bars?

Unlike other forms of investment, the goal of those who invest in gold is not to have an immediate return, but to secure their savings in a physical asset that is as easily liquidated as money, whose value and purchasing power, unlike cash, remains unchanged over the years.

Although gold is also an asset that we can own in various forms, from classic jewellery to financial or paper gold, owning pure physical gold in the form of gold bars or investment coins, also called bullion coins, is the safest form. A viable alternative is to buy physical gold grams to place in your Orovilla gold gram account, held safely in our vault and insured, but which can be monetised or converted to bars at any time.

Investing in physical gold therefore remains an important step for those who want to protect their savings or for those who want to diversify their portfolio in an intelligent way. It is important because:

• it allows diversification against strong stock market tensions;
• it provides protection against shocks to government bonds;
• gold's status as a safe haven asset
  it gives you a sense of security and concreteness;
• is easy and quick to liquidate;
  allows trading between private individuals;
• ensures transparency of quotations.

Mario Villa brand gold bars: an Italian story

The birth and success of Mario Villa brand gold bars is the result of hard work, experience and seriousness in an environment, the Italian one, that has always been linked to the art of precious metals processing.

From Banco Metalli, founded in the 1950s with a factory for the processing of precious metals and gold in particular, a national and international reference point and one of the most quoted realities in the buying, selling and processing of gold, the company created by Mario Villa gave birth in 2011 to Orovilla, a division of 8853 S.p.A., the only business that caters to private individuals to protect their savings and investments.

Orovilla has made it possible for more and more people to buy and sell gold and precious metals, to benefit from the experience of Orovilla experts, to open a gold-gram current account to create their own accumulation plan, and to work with a company that is strongly committed to social and environmental responsibility.

The Mario Villa bars available today are synonymous with high quality and commitment, security for investors and new frontiers of savings that are accessible even to those who do not have much liquidity at their disposal.
