Delta Pen
Scheduling issues with Delta has delayed by visit, I look forward to visiting with Delta Pen. Hopefully in 2010.
It was about a quarter century ago, in 1982, the company formed through the desire of three individuals, Nino Marino, Ciro Matrone, and Mario Muscente. Quite the undertaking to create a pen company and together, they did, creating a design shop to create their pens as well as the factory to create a final product.
Their work has paid off in the range of pens availalbe for us, those who enjoy writing with a fine pen. Italy, as a country has also given the company recognition. Delta was a sponsor of the Naples 1994 G7 Summit. The seven leaders were offered the G7 Limited Edition,. In 1998 the Venezia limited edition was established, by the mayor of Venice of the official pen of the city.
I have always been impressed with the Dolcevita and one day look forward to having that pen in my collection.
The Dolcevita is made with an acrylic resin barrel cast in a brilliant terracotta orange. I have seen this pen in so many Italian pen stores through my travels in Italy. The sterling silver band add a distinctive look of a well made pen. With a reportedly very smooth 18kt nib this is a pen that allows one to enjoy the good life - the dolcevita.
