📖 An era of ink and genius: the celluloid marred with "tiger" veins is one of the most fascinating symbols of Italian production between the two wars, when small and medium-sized artisan manufactures spread the style of the fountain as a daily and prestigious tool. The background loading, simple and effective, represented the practical innovation of those years, bringing elegant writing within the reach of professionals and students. A pen that still returns the authentic pleasure of fluid writing today, with the charm of the living matter of celluloid.
