Translations:Nettuno/3/en
The Nettuno production does not particularly stands out from the rest of the Italian production, and remains substantially related to the activities of their Bologna store, but both fot the presumed collaboration with Omas, and the production quality, this brand fountain pens are of great interest to collectors.

History
First traces of the Nettuno origin date back to 1911, date of a sketch for a flyer advertising showing the brand with the Neptune fountain in Piazza Maggiore in Bologna, chosen as its symbol by Umberto Vecchietti, founder of the company. The official founding of the company, however, is later: from the archives of the Chamber of Commerce of Bologna the date is in fact 1916,[1] and this fact makes an excessive claim the use the title "by 1911", reported in the contemporary reissues of some of this brand models.
