In 1948 it was made what is perhaps the most significant invention in the Italian fountain pen production, the 361 model. Born as a response for the success of Parker 51, the originality of the pen is in the central position of the nib, mounted on the axis of the pen, around which is placed an hood open by one side. Depending on the position of use of the pen, and in particular of the open side, the nib can be almost completely covered, resulting in a rigid nib, or left uncovered, allowing a flexible writing.
