The collaboration with Clerici continued until 1924, when Zanini founded his personal company, with the name Fabbrica di penne stilografiche e commercio, stampe in genere e riproduzioni opere d'arte.[1] In 1925, the activity thus far hosted in Zanini own house, was moved to Sesto Calende. The Ancora trademark (Reg. Gen. N. 40112) was indeed registered only in 1929. In the mid-1930s Zanini moved to Arona and with the collaboration of his children (Alfredo, Maria, Adele, Giuseppe, Franco, Antonio) began construction of a new factory; the headquarters were moved to Arona in 1938. In the early 1940s with the death of the founder (which occurred on 7/7/1940), the sons continued the activities and in about 1950 Alfredo took over the management, acquiring the brand and continuing the activities until 1975, when the company closed.
