Etruria Magnifica Miele Selvatico

Each nib and feeder are individually tuned and writing-tested. The 14kt gold nibs are Stiflex type, laminated and treated for high elastic response and tip flexibility, produced entirely in Florence with Italian equipment from the early last century.

Try it with a warm-toned ink: the Iroshizuku yama-guri (chestnut brown) interacts naturally with the amber resin. Alternatively, the J. Herbin Terre de feu offers a warm orange-brown that recalls the tones of wild honey.

Design of the Etruria Magnifica Miele Selvatico: Etruscan inspiration

The Etruria Magnifica Miele Selvatico evokes the austere beauty of Tuscany, ancient Etruscan land. The soft ovoid shape is inspired by Etruscan amphorae, with stylized leaf decorations that recall the motifs of Etruscan art. The balance of shapes, colors, and details makes the history of this unique land present.

The Magnifica size enhances the pen's body and its overall dimensions, which are crucial for the correct grip of the fountain pen. The oversized dimensions offer comfort during prolonged writing sessions, while maintaining lightness and manageability thanks to the Italian amber resin.

Artisan processing of amber resin

The body and cap of the Etruria Magnifica Miele Selvatico are made of Italian amber resin, hand-turned and brush-polished. The warm tone features natural veins and depth that gradually reveal themselves in the light, with nuances that vary from one example to another.

The amber resin guarantees lightness, resistance, and a warm and luminous appearance that distinguishes it from other variants in the collection.

Metal details: lost-wax casting and Florentine chiseling

The metal details of the Etruria Magnifica Miele Selvatico are lost-wax cast in bronze according to ancient Etruscan canons, an artisanal technique that allows for complex and detailed shapes. After casting, the details are 24-karat gold-plated to ensure durability and brilliance.

The central band and clip are finished with Florentine goldsmith-style chiseling, with hand-engraved stylized leaf decorations. This artisanal process makes each piece unique and recalls the Tuscan goldsmith tradition.

Three-way filling with included eyedropper

The fountain pen offers three filling systems:

• Cartridge: international standard cartridges (included in the package)
• Converter: piston converter for bottled inks (included)
• Direct filling: filling the entire body with a glass eyedropper (included) for high ink capacity

Direct filling with an eyedropper allows the entire volume of the pen body to be utilized, ensuring superior autonomy compared to cartridges and converters. This flexibility is rare in artisanal fountain pens in this range.
