This colorful stationary shop takes the name after Campo Marzio, the area of Rome near Pantheon where it is located. It opened there about 70 years ago as a small artisan pen-maker firm. Nowadays Campo Marzio Design still offers a huge selection of fountain, ballpoint and rollerball pens made of different materials like multi-colored celluloid, silver, leather, lacquer, wood, etc. But they're actually more famous for their brightly colored collections of folders, briefcases, writing pads and other desk stationary, all of them made of environmentally friendly bonded leather! A line of genuine leather briefcases and notepads in softer colors and tones has been also added to the original collection. They have been so successful that have now opened branches in other Italian cities. - Maria Frullini
