Interviews And Factory Visits At Montegrappa, Aurora And Stipula

[luisaC]

Hello,

 

Have you seen the latest interviews with these companiess? Interestingly Stipula was called Alba at the beginning and Aurora is building a huge pen museum. I wonder if anyone knows more about this. Some interesting pics from the factories. Especially the nib production steps i think.

Anticipating possible visit(s) to Europe and side trips to Italy, have bookmarked this site. A valuable source for adding to my pen knowledge. Thanks,

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set awhile.

Wow, interesting behind the scenes articles. Really appreciate the very high production values, with the well taken and comprehensive photos and also the written articles.

 

I have been a fan of the Stipula brand pens for quite a while now as their pens demonstrate a unique philosophy not found in other pen companies. But they seem to have been silent for quite a while now. It's so great to be given a peak into where they are going and what they have done. I am glad to read they are not in receivership. Also VERY interesting to know they make their own nibs. I did not know that. I thought they bought off the shelf JOWO nibs and finished them.

Is it just me or is the site also not working for everyone else?
