As an absolute premiere, here is the 96, Delta’s splendid new limited edition, which will be available from mid-August.
Only 96 pieces of fountain pen, made in 3 colours of 32 pieces each, planned for August and September.
The 96 collection is realised by Delta to celebrate the founding year of Giardino Italiano: 1996, exactly, which for an e-commerce is really a long time ago.
It was the dawn of the internet, when modems whistled the connection and the line speed was a millionth of what it is now; in Italy very few people knew the internet, let alone made purchases. Yet Giardino Italiano published the first version of its site and after a few weeks the first order of a fountain pen arrived from the United States (but, incredibly, by mail!)
And since then, we have never stopped.
We at Giardino Italiano are very proud of these pioneering beginnings and of our success, and we enthusiastically welcomed the idea of another celebratory pen (the previous one had been Visconti’s Giardino dell’Eden, Visconti’s Giardino dell’Eden, for the 20th anniversary).
Delta 96
Thanks to the successful collaboration with Delta, we are pleased to present this magnificent collection.
Here is a preview of the pen and its packaging:
The box with original design shows a garden, with red, blue and black flowers blurred in the shadows, like the colours of the 96:
Amarillo Red, Cornflower Blue and Tulip Black.
The first of the three, which will be available in mid-August, is the 96 Amarillo Red: a deep red resin, with unexpected flashes that change with the changing light.
The finishes are a mix of gold and silver: the central band of the cap is the famous sterling silver band in bas-relief of the Dolcevita, combined here with yellow gold-plated rings, like the clip and nib.
14Kt gold nib, both normal and flex tips available.
Filling system: piston, made in Delta factory.
In size, it is similar to the Dolcevita Medium, but longer. It is still a large, important pen, which attracts attention without being brash. The light of the resin reflections brightens up the intense colour and catches your eye.
In this YouTube video you can clearly see every detail:
The Cirnflower Blue version will be ready at the end of August, and the Tulip Black in September.
