Hello to everyone!
I'm Alex and I live in Rome. I'm 40 years old.
I re-discovered my passion for fountain pens and I guess this time there is no cure for it!
This forum is fantastic and there are so many things to learn!!!
I collect in special way Parker (Duofold, Slimfold and 75) and Sheaffer (Targa).
I like medium and broad nibs, sometimes i prefer to write with fine nibs but not very often.
Ink is my nightmare...one day I love a determinated color and the day after I changed totally idea.
One way or another I'll solve this big "problem".
In any case I'm a beginner in this magic univers of fountain pens.
I use my pens everyday at work, in a satellite TV.
I was a cameraman but now I work in office...they told me :"That's enogh with shooting pictures...now you can
manage the camera crew!". Telephone, fax, computer, thousands problems and no camera...but I've got my fountain pens
and I'll survive to this disaster!
I'm proud to be a very little part of this forum.
And excuse me for my orrible english.

Welcome Alex!!! Glad to have you here.

Hi, Alex. I understood you fine, so don't worry. Keep posting.

I guarantee your English is better than my Italian! Welcome!

Welcome! Hope you enjoy the FPN forum. I know what you mean about the inks! I keep so many pens inked up with different colors that I never can write all the ink out of them!

Happy Pen Collecting!

Ciao Alex, benvenuto & welcome!

Welcome from another beginner!

Funny, you don't look like a killer!

This forum frequently demonstrates the phenomena of persons speaking English as a second language having a far better command of the language than those of us whose ONLY language is English...

Welcome, Alex. You'll have fun here, and learn a thing or two, as well!

Ciao, Alex. Is that a Berlina in your avatar?

Thank you to every one for the friendly admission!

To Farace: yes, in my avatar there is my Alfa Romeo Giulia berlina at Coppa Intereuropa (Monza 2005)...my other passion, the cars...but this is another story.

Oh, I like that. I have a 1971 Spider, but I'd like one of everything Alfa. Berlinas are amazing cars; they don't look it, but they're more aerodynamic than a Porsche 911. We don't see many Berlinas over here.

Welcome to FPN. Rome is on my places to visit list.

To me too??? Thank you!! And welcome to FPN from another Italian!!



I am born in Rome...



Yep... this forum is fantastic for a lot of reason but main are: there are real guru and real huge collection guru..., there are nice and kind people, it is moderate, there is a spam and flame control, the knowledge is shared with everyone. Respect the rules and you'll find it a great place.


Eheheh, here you can find an ink session... enjoy it in particular girlieg33k ink books... written on moleskine paper... and maybe you will buy some usa inks... I did it... they are fantastics...
It is not exact, because ...

Because of it... if you use the fountain pens at work, I cannot consider you a beginner...

You're welcome. If you will like fountain pens more and more, you will grew faster here.

look at my signature for my apologize... and for fountain pens pics (under construction).

Yay! More Italians! One can never have too many. Just keep talking to us and you'll be posting with an American accent in no time.

Hi Alex. Wellcome!
