I have three Filcao's, going on four. The boutique brand has been around since 1969 with Franco Grisalia at the helm. That's an amazing run. I have the Columbia, Silvia, 2004 Pentrace LE, and coming soon, the Kameleon.
I also, of course, have Visconti Wallstreet, Stipula Model T, Aurora Optima, and a nice little Delta Solaris in blue.
Italians all have flair. The nibs can be quite worth visiting also.
I have a few Italians worth mentioning:
--Omas: 1950s Pearl Grey 556(flexible nib!);1990s Galileo(#1845);Saffron Blue Paragon;Sterling Silver Ogiva
--Aurora: Tsugaru-nuri Talentum(#12/150);Optima Sole'(#1545)
--Delta: Scrigno(#1549?)

I'm now up to 20 Visconti's. I have a self-imposed limit of 25.

"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

I could make a list of my 39 Visconti. Not an ultimate authority probably, just buy a lot. :-) Bogon has more than that, he just refuses to count and admit it!!!

I hope you can keep your promise, no more than 25
Ye gads - with the new green tapeworm - 39 too.
The Purple Rembrandt is Mrs Bogon's so technically the count is only 38.
There is another Visconti penciled in for September so you will have to get a few more soon.
What is more worrying is the fast grow pile of Deltas, now up to 8.

I've been saying "no more pens in 2014." since February which has been an epic failure so far.
Igor61, that is a substantial bunch of Omas in your collection !
