Piazza Navona
Breathtaking and imposing
Rome‘s historical square in the valley of the Tiber at the foot of the Quirinal Hill is impressive in a number of ways:
the Piazza Navona.
Built by the Emperor Domitian in AD 86 as a stadium for Greek athletes in competition, even today the foundations of the neighbouring
houses there follow the course of the grandstands of antiquity. Architectural masterpieces have repeatedly been created on
their ruins in the past two thousand years.
Alongside the family palace built by Pope Innozenz X. Pamphilj in the Baroque era and the house church bordering it, one of
the most beautiful of Baroque fountains, the “Fontana dei Fiumi” – (Fountain of the rivers) was built by Gian Lorenzo Bernini
in 1648-51.
Into the 1800s, Piazza Navona was used as the stage for many imposing spectacles, for which it was even flooded to recreate
historical sea battles.
Extravagantly fashioned, amber-coloured delicately cast resin material set in gilded elements afford each writing instrument
an inimitable charisma.
The fountain pen is graced by an 18-carat gold nib with rhodium decoration – masterly in design, polished and individually
tested by hand.
The ball-pen is fitted with a rotating mechanism and an international high-capacity ink cartridge.
And the ball is fascinating too: it glides gently, comfortably across the page.
