How well do you know Italy?

Aurora seeks to answer this question by a series of fountain pens dedicated to areas of the country that hold cultural and historical secrets hidden to the uninitiated.

The second stop of the Secret Journey to Italy is Volterra.

Famous for its ancient Etruscan historical center, not everyone knows Volterra is place of extraction and processing of alabaster.

Dating from 7 million years ago, the Volterra alabaster is the most valuable in Europe, and each quarry in the area has a different type of alabaster.

Its processing is passed down from generation to generation resulting an ancient practice, this is the real Secret of Volterra.

The main sense and synaesthesia of the collection Viaggio Segreto in Italia is Hearing.

Each City is accompanied by its distintic music that will make you experience the atmosphere of the place, through a QR code inserted inside the precious box. Each Limited Edition is also enriched by a precious watercolored bookmark, which like a postcard remains in memory of the fabulous journey.

The collection Viaggio Segreto in Italia is executed on Aurora's classic 88 model. Aurora dedicates to each city a limited edition of only 888 numbered fountain pens.

Volterra, the second entry in the Viaggio Segreto collection features a body made Auroloide in the color of alabaster. The fountain pen has a nib made of 18kt rose gold, an ebonite feeder, and uses Aurora's well tested piston filling system.

Just behind the fountain pen's section Aurora has left a slit with a view to the ink level.

All Aurora 88 Viaggio Segreto fountain pens come in a dedicated luxury gift box along with a dedicated ink bottle.
