Nino Marino Signature Columbus Silver Fountain pen

The Nino Marino Signature Columbus Silver Fountain Pen is a tribute to exploration, maritime heritage, and the enduring artistry of Italian craftsmanship. This exceptional writing instrument combines historic materials, precious metals, and masterful detailing to create a pen that feels as meaningful as it is luxurious. Inspired by the courage of great voyages, the Columbus Silver is a collector’s piece that embodies the spirit of discovery in every line written.

Crafted from Maritime History

What makes the Columbus Silver truly unique is its connection to history. Parts of the pen are crafted from the original wood of the legendary training ship Amerigo Vespucci, one of Italy’s most iconic naval vessels.

Each grain of wood carries the memory of ocean routes, shifting winds, and generations of navigators. Paired with deep sea-blue resin, hand-turned from a solid bar, the pen reflects the meeting point between tradition and the vastness of the sea.

A Tribute to Navigation and Exploration

The cap is crowned with a finely detailed caravel sailing ship, crafted entirely from solid 925 sterling silver using the traditional lost-wax casting technique and hand-finished to perfection.

This sculptural detail pays homage to the boldness of historic voyages and transforms the pen into a symbolic object of exploration, craftsmanship, and storytelling.

Exceptional Writing Performance

At the heart of the Columbus Silver lies a #6 solid 14-karat gold nib, enhanced with precious palladium plating for added refinement and durability. Designed for smooth, expressive writing, it is available in a wide range of nib sizes, including Fine, Medium, Broad, Stub 1.1, and flexible options for greater line variation.

The fixed piston filling system, crafted in the Maiora workshops, ensures a reliable ink flow and generous ink capacity, making the pen suitable for both daily writing and long-form use.
