Around 1934 "The King Società Anonima Torino" was renamed in "Società Anonima Fabbrica Italiana Stilografiche", because of the policies of forced Italianisation of names carried out by the fascist regime,^[1] which made it unattractive to use an English name. It is not known when the first pens Radius appeared on the market, and at the moment the only certain date is that of the trade mark registration (Reg. Gen. N. 50489) which occurred in 1934 by the new company, which is why we take this year as its starting date.

↑ Letizia Jacopini in his book La storia della stilografica in Italia, reports the testimony of Bruno Milocani and Emilio Pionzo indicating the shift of production from The King to Radius around 1935 right for this reason.
