Delta pays tribute to the Italian Navy Training Ship Amerigo Vespucci.
Amerigo Vespucci was a Florentine merchant, explorer and cosmographer, naturalized Castilian in 1505, who participated in at least two voyages of exploration to the New World, a continent now called America in his honor.
The cap of the Amerigo Vespucci fountain pen is made of ship’s wood, it has been handmade using ancient processing techniques, beeswax has been used for the final polishing.
The body of the pen is made of blue marbleized resin, this blue color represents the blue color of the sea.

The clip is special for this limited series, it represents the whistle with which the boatswain of the ship gives his instructions to the sailors.
On the top of the cap is a plaque with the engraving of the ship used by Amerigo Vespucci on his voyages to America.
The loading system is by means of a push button on the cone.
