Collection: Pens between €300 and €500

Fountain pens, rollerball pens, and ballpoint pens between €301 and €500: a price range that opens access to precious materials, gold nibs, and excellent Italian and German craftsmanship.

For those looking for an icon of Italian design, the Aurora 88 — designed by Marcello Nizzoli in 1947, with over 7 million pieces sold — and the Aurora Optima in streaked auroloide, with the charm of pens from the 1930s. For those who want a guilloché laminated gold cap, the Aurora 88 Preziose.

For those seeking extraordinary materials, the Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze made of basaltic lava from Mount Etna with an 18Kt gold nib, or the Montegrappa Magnifica, with 1930s geometry reinterpreted in a modern key. The Montegrappa Mia, on the other hand, is the choice for those who prioritize color and ergonomics.

For collectors of limited editions, the Delta 96 L.E. — 96 numbered pieces in mother-of-pearl resin — and the Delta pens from the Indigenous People series: the Sentinelesi and the Bajau, both in a limited edition of 388 pieces with 14Kt gold nibs. The Visconti Alfred Hitchcock and Hitchcock Vertigo complete the offer for those who collect themed pens.

For those seeking narrative character, the Pineider Tempi Moderni — a tribute to Chaplin and writing as a subversive act — and the Marlen Hippocrates, dedicated to the medical profession with a bas-relief of Hippocrates and the Rod of Asclepius on the clip. The Marlen L'Arma di Calliope, on the other hand, celebrates the Carabinieri with a solid silver clip and band.

For those who want a technical desk fountain pen, the oversize Stipula Lunga Vita with a highly flexible V-Flex nib, the transparent Stipula Suprema Nuda Rosé demonstrator with rose gold finishes, and the Stipula Suprema Voyeur in windowed resin with palladium finishes. The Delta Reservoir adds a removable reservoir for those who write a lot. For German tradition, the Pelikan Souveraen 800 and the Pelikan 605 Stresemann — the pen with the pinstripe suit — in a medium size.

The Leonardo Alumina closes the selection with a polished aluminum barrel, light and ductile: a choice for those seeking an unusual metallic material.

To complete the choice, the Pens.it ink collection gathers all available ranges: Iroshizuku, La Perle des Encres, Parfumées J. Herbin, and others — with color combinations designed to enhance every pen.
