Part of a limited bespoke 2025 collection, this luxury fountain pen is crafted from rare, vintage celluloid originally featured in Delta’s Rediscover Pompeii series.

With its oversized proportions and luxurious nib, the Bologna Extra Pompeii II delivers a writing experience that’s both bold and elegant. This pen isn’t just an accessory – it’s a piece of history, crafted for discerning writers, collectors, and enthusiasts who value heritage, craftsmanship, and exclusivity.

Whether displayed in a collection or used daily, the ASC Bologna Extra Pompeii II offers a writing experience as enduring and expressive as the ancient city that inspired it.

A pen company by collectors for collectors. This is the ethos behind the ASC brand. Its founder, Emmanuel Caltagirone, believes a fountain pen must be both functional and beautiful. Born in Paris to a family of reputable pen makers, fountain pens were destined to be in his future.

His father, Nicolas Caltagirone, is the well-known figure behind the reputable Waterman and Cartier pen brands. When the OMAS luxury pen brand was up for sale, Emmanuel knew it would be his crown jewel. OMAS had something other pen makers covet – beautiful and rare celluloid material.

ASC continues to stretch the boundaries where beauty and tradition intersect. Creating connections from one generation to the next. Such is the legacy of Armando Simoni Club.
