It is best known for the Dolcevita, with its bold orange and black resin, and for a long series of themed limited editions celebrating Italian history, art, landscapes and culture. Delta pens are made by hand in Naples, where artisans turn each component from solid bars of resin or celluloid and polish it to a mirror finish. A Delta limited edition is more than a writing instrument: it is a small piece of Italian craftsmanship and storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Treasures of Italy series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreasures of Italy, or Tesori d'Italia, is a series of Delta limited editions that celebrates the natural and cultural wonders of Italy. Each pen interprets one place through colour and material, so the collection reads like a journey across the country. The Etna is the series' tribute to Sicily and its great volcano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInspired by Mount Etna\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount Etna, on the east coast of Sicily, is the tallest active volcano in Europe and one of the most active in the world. For thousands of years it has shaped the island's landscape, its legends and its famously fertile soil, and its eruptions light up the Sicilian night. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of the raw power and beauty of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delta Etna fountain pen translates the volcano into three colours. The marbled brown resin of the barrel evokes the dark, mineral-rich earth on the slopes of the mountain. The deep blue cap is the night sky above the summit. And the red celluloid used for the finials and the cap rings represents the lava that flows from the crater, glowing against the darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCelluloid and resin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelluloid is the classic material of fine pens. It was used for the great pens of the 1920s to 1950s and is still prized today for its depth, warmth and the way it glows in the light, but it is difficult to work with and needs long curing, so it is now reserved for special pieces. On the Etna, Delta uses red celluloid for the lava accents, while the cap and barrel are turned from resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 14-carat gold nib\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Etna is fitted with a size 6 nib in 14-carat gold, which gives a smooth, slightly springy writing feel and adapts to your hand over time. We offer the Delta Etna fountain pen in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium and Broad, so you can choose the line that suits your handwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Delta Etna fountain pen measures about 138mm long capped and 15mm across, and it weighs about 30g, with roughly 20g in the barrel and 10g in the cap. It is a comfortable, well-balanced mid-size pen that suits long writing sessions, and the threaded cap of the Etna keeps the nib safe in a bag or pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the right nib\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure which nib to pick? An \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Fine\u003c\/strong\u003e nib gives the thinnest line and suits small handwriting, diaries and thin paper. A \u003cstrong\u003eFine\u003c\/strong\u003e nib is the everyday choice for most writers in India, neat and precise on office paper. A \u003cstrong\u003eMedium\u003c\/strong\u003e nib lays down a little more ink, so colours look richer and the pen feels smoother. A \u003cstrong\u003eBroad\u003c\/strong\u003e nib is bold and expressive, ideal for signatures, cards and showing off shading inks. If you write quickly or press lightly, a Medium is a safe, comfortable choice; if you write small, go for Fine or Extra Fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCartridges, converters and bottled ink\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have two ways to fill this pen. Standard international cartridges are clean, quick and perfect for travel: just push one in and start writing. For the widest choice of colours, add a converter (included with this pen) and fill from a bottle of fountain pen ink. A bottle of ink lasts far longer than a box of cartridges, so bottled ink is the favourite of regular fountain pen users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInk recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delta Etna fountain pen is a celebration of colour, so it deserves inks that echo the volcano.

Cap the pen whenever you are not writing so the nib does not dry out. Every few weeks, or whenever you change ink colours, flush the nib section with lukewarm water until it runs clear, then let it dry. Use only fountain pen ink, never drawing ink or Indian ink, which can clog the feed. If the pen will not be used for a while, empty it, rinse it and store it clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA gift worth giving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quality pen remains one of the best gifts you can give.
