Santara: Columbus Pens - Milano Italy
It all began on the 19th of May, 1918, when two brothers, Eugenio and Alfredo Verga formed a partnership in Milan dedicated to the production, working and sale of fountain pens, nibs, ink and stationery items.
Eugenio chose Columbus as the name of the brand, whereas Alfredo gave his own name to the new born partnership, which became known as Alfredo Verga dei Fratelli Verga.
The same year the first pen was crafted; this total black ebonite pen was called the Columbus Safety Pen N.1. Through the years, some more valuable gold-plated models were added to the Columbus range, which enhanced the prestige and standard of the brand.
Today Columbus is owned by Santara Italy and they were recently the first brand to introduce Matitone pencils in the Italian market. They are becoming a cult pencil for teenagers, professionals and marketing managers in Italy and The Paperie have now introduced the Columbus Matitone "Torpedo" range into the Australian Market. Columbus Torpedo is the ultimate designer pencil range and will gather a great following in Australia.
