1933
Our history begins in the heart of Rome, into the elegant district known as ‘Campo Marzio’ (hence the name); it was full with picturesque small shops, side by side with international fashion boutiques. The first Campo Marzio small “Bottega Artigiana” (workshop) was specialized in unique and unusual fountain pens. As soon as this Bottega was opened, “Campo Marzio” became immediately popular amongst nobles, politicians and artists for its fine workmanship and unique writing instruments. In the “golden age” of the “Dolce Vita”, Campo Marzio was soon reckoned as "the temple of writing into the Eternal City".
Early nineties
it’s the beginning of a new era for “Campo Marzio”, which turns from local business to an international brand, under the guidance of the three founders Roberto Di Giorgio, Massimiliano Salustri and Augusto Graziani. Strong with its rich cultural and artisanal heritage Campo Marzio broadened its product lines introducing business, travel and personal accessories into its catalogue, characterized through vibrant colours and the unmistakable Italian “touch”. It was only the beginning of a path which brought the values of the original “Bottega Artigiana” all over the world.
2000
To celebrate the Jubilee of the Catholic Church, Campo Marzio was appointed by the Pope to create a special and rare collection of precious fountain pens for the Vatican Museum. This important acknowledgment definitely launched the brand onto a world-class stage.
