The ''Stiassi e Tantini'' company (which historically has gone through many name changes) is one of the oldest fountain pens manufacturers on the Italian market, but unlike the other major Italian brands its production has been deployed with a variety of different names, of which the best known are [[The Scotland]] and [[Tabo]], used in two different time periods. The brand [[The Scotland]] is the older of the two, and dates back to 1920, the brand [[Tabo]] instead was adopted from the late '30s.

The company was active in Bologna and often is assumed that there are ties (in particular for the [[The Scotland]] brand production) with [[Omas]] (but none is clearly documented). It is considered for the quality of its pens one of the most interesting historic Italian producers. The company produced high-quality fountain pens until all the 40s, but suffered heavily in the post-war from the effects the success of the ballpoint pen, and production ceased in the '50s.

In [[1948]] ''Stiassi e Tantini'' was closed, but the Tantini family continued its activities for some time with ''P. Tantini & C Srl'' company. In Bologna a business under this name  was opened, but the fountain pen production does not extend beyond the 50s. With the crisis resulting from the success of the disposable ballpoint pens the assets of the company was diversified in the business of ink, office supplies, and knickknacks, until the final failure occurred in [[1972]].
