Stunning is how this pen has been described. Each Torino pen is endividually machined from a rod of Italian acrylic resin. This material has an incredible depth give by its translucent composition. The colors are vibrant and each pen is different, since the swirls and color patterns are never the same. The curved shape is ideal even for long writing sessions. The shape of the Torino does not allow the cap to be posted at the top of the barrel. The Torino is fitted with a smooth steel nib. The nib is tipped with an iridium-like material and the pen glides over the paper. The cap snaps into place with a positive click.
