Nettuno 1911 Neos Nineteen-Eleven Adone Fountain pen

The Nettuno Neos Nineteen-Eleven fountain pen collection pays tribute to famous heroes of Greek mythology.

Adone/Adonis was the mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite in Greek mythology. He was astonishingly beautiful. So much so, that to this day the word adonis is used to describe an exceptionally handsome man.

The top of the cap highlights a precious relief decoration that bears the image of the god Neptune. The clip, with its antique look, shows the ‘trident’, the tip of Neptune’s harpoon. 

The pens in the Neos 1911 collection are individually numbered.

The Nettuno Neos 1911 Adone uses a cartridge/converter filling system and is equipped with a high quality steel nib, available in EF, F, M, B and Stub.

Nettuno was originally founded in 1911 and was recently revived in 2018. The pens are now handmade in Naples, Italy by the Maiora Pen Company, which is managed by the former co-founder and president of the Delta Pen Company.
