Etna

Delta Etna: three elements, three colors

Part of the "Treasures of Italy" series, this pen interprets the volcanic landscape through materials and color combinations. The inspiration goes beyond just the name: earth, lava, and night sky each find a place in the design.
It is a proposal for those looking for a writing instrument with a story to be observed in its details, as much as it is to be told.

The marbled dark brown of the barrel represents the volcanic earth, the primordial matter of Etna.
The deep blue of the cap recalls the night sky, immense and silent when the volcano rests.
The rare fire-red celluloid of the end pieces evokes the incandescent lava flowing down the slopes.
The contrast among these elements translates the stillness of the landscape and the energy of the volcano into color.

Materials and craftsmanship of the Etna fountain pen

Each element is turned by hand from solid bars and mirror-polished.
The craftsmanship carried out in Naples enhances the surfaces and highlights the marbled brown resin, solid blue, and red accents. The encounter between resin and celluloid creates a recognizable composition, in which each material contributes to the narrative without disrupting its harmony.

The cap is enriched by two small red celluloid rings, interspersed with golden rings. The 24kt gold-plated metal finishes complete the palette, adding a luminous note to the hues of the earth and the night.
These are details to be appreciated up close, on the desk or the moment you pick up the pen to start a letter.

14kt gold nib and converter included

The nib is 14kt gold, size #6.
The available points are Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, Stub 1.1, Flex F, and Flex EF. This choice allows you to aim for a finer or broader stroke, or expressive writing, according to your preference.
Check the availability of your desired option at the time of purchase.

The cartridge/converter filling system allows you to choose between cartridges and bottled ink; the converter is included.
To personalize your writing moment, you can match an ink color to the pen's volcanic palette (such as the brown Yama Guri—wild chestnut—from the Iroshizuku range) or choose a contrast on the page (such as the Rouge Grenat by J. Herbin).
A note, a dedication, or a letter thus becomes an opportunity to rediscover the pleasure of the handwritten gesture.
