[[Stilus]] is one of the oldest Italian fountain pens manufacturer; its origins date back to 1917 in Turin, as evidenced by the inscription in the invoice shown on the side that reports the date of April 12, 1917 as the date for company registration at the Ministry of Industry and Trade (''Ministero Industria e Commercio''). This makes this company a producer of great significance, being born two years before the more famous [[Aurora]], although the details of this early period are extremely rare.<ref>most are in the second volume of the Letizia Jacopini book, from which we got most of the informations about this company.</ref>

L'azienda venne fondata dal Dr. ''Emilio Pecco'' a Torino, con sede in via Cibrario 12 e denominazione ''Pecco e C. Stilus'', anche se su alcuni modelli successivi (come sul quello in [[celluloide]] qui riportato nella fotografia sottostante) si ritrova la la dicitura ''FRATELLI PECCO'', ed in varie registrazioni di marchi varianti come ''Ditta F.lli Pecco'' o ''Ditta Pecco & C. fabbrica di penne stilografiche''. Il marchio ''Stilus'' venne comunque depositato nel 1919 ({{Marchio|18555}}) ed è stato mantenuto come riferimento costante della produzione per tutta la vita dell'azienda.

The company was founded by Dr. ''Emilio Pecco'' in Turin based in Via Cibrario 12, with the name ''Pecco and C. Stilus'', although on some later models (like the one in celluloid, here shown in the photo below) we find a different name as ''FRATELLI PECCO'' (Pecco brothers). Others names were ''Ditta F.lli Pecco'' or ''Ditta Pecco & C. fabbrica di penne stilografiche'' as found in some trademark registration. The ''Stilus'' brand however was registered in 1919 ({{Marchio|18555}}) and was maintained as a constant reference throughout the production life of the company.
