Description
Umberto Nobile (Lauro, Avellino 1885 – Rome 1978) was once one of the most key figures within the history of flight.
A General within the Italian Royal Air Force, Nobile designed air ships in all places the world, but he’s most commonly known for having flown around the North Pole twice. The first time was once in 1926 On the request of Norway with the air ship NORGE, which he designed and commanded. The second one time was once in 1928 on an entirely Italian expedition aboard the air ship ITALIA. This last expedition ended dramatically when the ITALIA crashed into the ice because of adverse meteorological conditions, and the survivors were rescued after forty-eight days spent within the legendary “Red Tent.” The event and the subsequent fiery controversy tarnished Nobile’s fame, and after being accused by the fascist regime he made up our minds to volantarily go into exile and move to the Soviet Union where he worked for five years building air ships.
On the end of 1936 he made up our minds to return to Italy, but because of political and personal difficulties he made up our minds to leave again after accepting an offer to work in america. After the fall of Fascism in Italy in July of 1943, he moved back to Italy definitively and from 1946 to 1948 was once an independent representative within the Constituent Assembly of Italy. His role in history and his accomplishments have been re-evaluated over time and Nobile has been recognized for what he truly was once: a genius engineer, an ready aviator, and an untiring explorer. Talent, inventiveness, and passion were the important thing personality traits of Nobile; this combined with the truth that this strange individual was once from the Italian hinterland moved Giuliano Mazzuoli to create a pen in his honor.
The NOBILE ITALIA commemorates this Italian genius through a synthesis of up to date creativity and the prime quality of the materials used.
The NOBILE ITALIA is born from the talent of Italian craftsmen. It’s an original product with a up to date design whose inspiration comes from a glorious past. The care taken in the main points and the number of the materials make the NOBILE ITALIA a collector’s pen, however the pleasure of the feel of its form (when taking it out from a bag or the pocket of a jacket), grip, and decisive writing stroke, makes it unforgiveable not to use it each day.
The exclusive shape, inspired by the air ship ITALIA, makes this writing instrument more pleasant and functional to make use of.
