A tribute to the Tiber Valley, often considered an offshoot of Tuscany - the ancient land of Etruria - which already reaches out towards Rome. The Tiber river takes shape right here and gives life to an enchanting valley where, among others, Michelangelo and Piero della Francesca were born. Dotted with small fortified villages and dominated by high mountains, the austere and harsh sense that the collection embodies with its geometric and rigorous decorations prevails.
The Etruria Val Tiberina collection ensures a balanced grip of the fountain pen when writing, but at the same time retains a classic and detached look with its dominant size, ideal for those who love a pen with character.
The “non-colour” of the treated Nero di Catenaia by hand at maximum opacity to achieve an even deeper effect, is confirmed in the gunmetal gray of the metallic decorations, with the four neat circles that tightly wrap the cap of the pen. An ultra-modern finish inspired by the deep forests of the Alpe di Catenaia which surround the historic Valley and consecrate it in its enchanted and wild beauty.
