The [[Tibaldi]] was founded in [[1916]], and is one of the oldest manufacturers of fountain pens in Italy. The author considers the second among the oldest Italian manufacturer of fountain pens. If there were brands operating on the market since before this date, like [[Montegrappa]] or [[Nettuno]], none of these can qualify in its early stages as a true fountain pens manufacturer apart [[Uhlmann's Eternal]]. After the death of the founder, the company underwent a period of decline, with a drop in quality and sales, failing to overcome the crisis of the advent of disposable ballpoint pens, closing its doors permanently in [[1965]], even if the mark has been reused in recent years for the production of some modern models.
