The Ancora Lusso fountain pen is a limited creation launched in 2000 by the historic Italian firm Ancora, founded in 1919 by Giuseppe Zanini, considered one of the oldest Italian pen houses. This model takes up the name and part of the spirit of an eponymous pen from the 1940s, fusing tradition with a contemporary design in high quality resins with visible veins and vivid colors.

One of the highlights of this pen is its 18-karat gold nib, which is not only self-made - a rarity these days and a distinctive sign of authenticity - but also features a remarkably long size, giving it a unique aesthetic without compromising writing comfort.

The Lusso Ancora combines history, classic design and Italian craftsmanship in a refined and rare piece. With only 500 examples per color, it represents a unique opportunity for collectors who value exclusivity and distinctiveness. Its in-house nib and vintage-inspired models consolidate its place as a cult pen in the world of fine writing.
