These eleven pens represent Simoni''s most innovative and iconic designs from the 1930s, each adapted for the contemporary market. The Harlequin model, inspired by the colourful comic character in the commedia dell' arte, is particularly significant in that very few models were made, and the one that is presented in this collection is based on a pen produced by Simoni exclusively for his wife.
