AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fountain pen with 4 nibs. A rare boxed set from Filcao of Settimo Torinese, designed for those who enjoy experimenting with handwriting. The fountain pen pairs a glossy black barrel with gold-tone trim and an embossed cap. The blue box, with its light-colored interior and the cursive word “Calligrafica,” holds four interchangeable nib assemblies, allowing you to vary the line while using the same pen body.

The model is documented in the Filcao pen reference catalog with a photograph attributed to Giovanni Abrate, the brand’s longtime distributor in the United States. The Calligrafica also appears in The Fountain Pen Network’s review index, which lists a review of the model by James Pickering.
