    Default Hello from Italy

    Hello to everybody,
    I am an Italian IT Engineer, living in northern Italy. I like computers and IT technology but... I cannot avoid to take notes writing with one of my fountain pens on a piece of paper!

    I love fountain pens, from the beautiful and precious vintage pens to the modest and cheap Chinese pens... I collect them all and treat them with the same care. Also for that, many Italian friends sharing with me this passion tell me I'm a bit crazy, perhaps that's true but I can't do anything on that!

    I found today this forum and read some very interesting posts, so I decided to registry, and here I am!

    I am sure there are much more thing to discover here, so I'll continue to explore the forum... but before to continue my readings, I wish you all an happy new year!!!!

    Ciao
    Mauro

    Welcome Mauro!

    I also am an IT geek who finds fountain pens to be fascinating and is now an important part for me to decompress from the stress and to do some expressive-writing.

    I feel the same way I am sure we are not alone in our sentiments within the fountain pen community. So ... do your friends know how many "crazy" people are really out there?
    Welcome to you Mauro and I am glad that you joined!

    Default Hello from Italy

    I love the way technology can connect us quickly, but I am a sucker for the simple pleasures of taking a moment to write my thoughts with the beautiful instrument of the fountain pen.

    I hope you enjoy it here!

    The article is really good. I found here looking for a good article because my heart was empty. There are a lot of different articles, so reading them makes me feel a bit empty. Next time I want to read an article about, please. 토토사이트
