Gioia Pens
Gioia Pens are Neapolitan producers of luxury hand-turned fountain pens

Gioia Alleria Amaranto
The Alleria is a handmade fountain pen turned from precious resin. The 'Amaranto' or 'Amaranth' model is 'inspired by the vibrant colour of the amaranth plant, whose name derives from the Greek word 'amarantos', "the one that does not wither".

The pen itself is a full sized modern classic, measuring in at 142mm capped. The pen has been turned from Italian precious resin and its highly polished finish is accented by gold plated trim. The barrel threads are unique, being at the foot of the grip section, they facilitate a tight seal and a graceful capping experience.

The cap and the barrel together have five trim rings that confer a neo-classic look. The result: a fountain pen with a modern silhouette and a strikingly classic finish that smacks of Italian craftsmanship. With a smooth piston filling mechanism, huge ink capacity and a range of nib options, the Gioia Amaranth is a force to be reckoned with  

Nib Sizes
The iridium-tipped #6 JoWo steel nib is available in six different sizes:

Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, 1.1 Stub and 1.5 Stub

We have a small batch of Architect grinds available, these are the standard Gioia Broad nibs which have been professionally ground to an Architect, also known as Hebrew or Arabic grind. They are an additional £45 

Measurements:

Length capped: 142mm
Length uncapped: 134mm 
Barrel diameter: 16mm
Section Diameter: 11.5mm

Happy Ending

A few days ago I gave a 1-star review to Grand Vision Pens because Royal Mail claimed to have delivered my pen and that it was received and signed (with just a cross!) by somebody. I was anxious about the prospect of not being able to recover the wrongly-delivered parcel. The following day I contacted the seller to see if they could give me assistance. Alex of Grand Vision agreed to visit the Post Office to find out what the problem was, and returned to tell me that Royal Mail admitted to have made a mistake in their tracking info, and that the parcel should be delivered on the next day. That didn't happen the next day, so I assumed that the parcel had been permanently lost. Early this morning Alex went to the Post Office to check again, and thanks to his efforts I finally received the parcel in late morning. Thank you again, Alex.

The pen I bought is the Gioia Alleria Amaranto, made in Naples Italy. It's a mid-price pen, yet the overall quality is surprisingly good. The purple acrylic has a luxurious feel to it, the steel nib is wet, smooth and not too stiff. One really excellent feature of the pen is the buttery smooth piston filling system, comparable to those in Pelikan pens. Finally a pleasant surprise is the discount card found inside the box. I will definitely take advantage of the discount when I shop again at Grand Vision, this time aiming for a higher model.

Though I should be reducing my collection, I had read a number of write-ups on this pen and couldn't resist, it is an affliction us collectors have.

The pen arrived exceedingly quickly well packaged and upon open the box I was not disappointed.

The colours are deep and rich, the nib section fits perfectly in the hand, the pen is well proportioned, I do like girthier pens. The fit and finish is of a very high standard. Writing with the #6 medium nib is an absolute delight and I would have no hesitation in recommending the pen and the supplier.
