Museo OFFICINA DELLA SCRITTURA - Aurora Historic headquarters (Via della Basilica, 9 - Turin)

Historic headquarters of the Aurora pen company of Turin in Via della Basilica 9, the first Italian industry for the production of tank pens. In 1943 the original laboratory was razed to the ground by Allied bombing and the company was forced to resume activities in another location, which was built near the Abbadia di Stura close to the cloister and the church of the same name, where the company is still based today. In the 1960s, ownership passed to the Verona family, who still manages it today. The Abbadia di Stura plant occupies 10 thousand square meters and currently employs around 80 people.
