In my many years of successful collaboration with Delta, I had never been to Naples to visit their offices and factory.

I want to talk again about pen maker Stipula, as I recently rediscovered a limited series of their ebonite pens called Vespri Siciliani (=Sicilian Vespers), which come with iron-gall ink. This unusual match pushed me to dig deeper into the story and features of this particular type of ink. And, for real, is there anyone still thinking […]

After four years of inactivity, South Tirol-based company Storia (“history” in Italian) has resumed their production of wooden pens (and not only that). Storia’s pens gained them accolades from all over the world, so we have decided to interview their founder, Federico Testa, to know a bit more about this unexpected comeback. .

Fountain pens are typically quite well refined, beautiful, and precious. Aesthetic refinement is at the core of their style, while technique powers the mechanism that draws the ink to the nib and produces a light, impeccable stroke on paper. Realistically, many know fountain pens only in their poorest versions – the ones that are sold in […]

Stipula has been missing from Giardino Italiano’s catalog for quite a while now. And yet, the brand has always been there, alive and kicking. I missed the Stipulas. They are beautiful, interesting, and charming pens. They remind me of those prim-and-proper ladies: they won’t surprise you with the latest fashion, but will never look out […]

Leonardo Officina Italiana has recently launched a new line of colourful pens that go under the name of Furore. Furore, Italian for “fury”, show off their bright and shiny liveries, calling for liveliness, deeness, and passion. Nothing about the feelings connected to fury shine through. If you’re puzzled about it, know that there is more to the […]

When Giardino Italiano turned 20 (20 years of online sales), Visconti made a special pen for us; a Limited Edition in 100 pieces to celebrate the anniversary, the first one in the world for pens’ webshops. Also because the very first pen sold online in an e-commerce was actually a Visconti, therefore it was an […]

Some new pens have hit the market. It’s the Momento Zero series (the Italian for “Zero Moment”). They display a beautifully classical look, with their informal and natural style. The colors of their resins and celluloid are sober, yet iridescent. Their name calls for rebirth, commitment, and enthusiasm. The brand is Leonardo Officina Italiana, a […]
