The Aurora pen company manufacturers these exquisite writing instruments from its factory in Torino, Italy.  The firm was founded in 1919 after the end of the first world war and the name Aurora was chosen to represent the dawning of a new era.

One of the more unique things about Aurora fountain pens and other writing instruments is that the company makes all of their parts from scratch, unlike some competitors who order nibs from a major German nib producer.  This gives them a unique writing quality that is entirely unlike anything else you’ve ever tried.
