On 20 October, 1916, “the first and most important Italian
manufacturer of fountain pens” (as recorded on the certificate
of registration at the bureau of commerce in Florence) was established
as Tibaldi & Co. Since that time and throughout the twentieth
century, people from all walks of life, be they great writers
or everyday folks wishing to write down their thoughts, have savoured
Tibaldi’s elegant, reliable pens.
Tibaldi pens are designed to allure three senses –
sight, touch and hearing. Their innovative filling system has
secured an international patent. Rotating the pen’s blind
cap when filling the pen has the same sound and feel as manually
winding a watch crown. The mechanism applies a slight resistance
to rotation, avoiding brusque movements at the bottom of the pen,
reducing the risk of accidental leakages.
