Visconti Torpedo Black - Fountain Pen Nibwidth:Medium The Vertigo sports a stainlessThe pen is inspired by a recent design trend, Bolidismo, born in Italy in the mid 80s by a group of architects and designers who largely attended the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Florence. The founding values of the group were the dynamism of the shapes, somehow a far recall to the Futurism of the early twentieth century, and the reference to design (which strongly influenced the world of cars) and to the Comics strip & of the '30s.
