For more than a century, since 1912, a family company nested in the Italian Dolomites has remained relentlessly curious about the magical relationship between paper and the human mind. Boundless inventiveness and craft have won Montegrappa admirers around the world. With a combination of vision, daring and artisanal virtuosity, Italy’s oldest fountain pen factory has pioneered the notion of writing instruments as objets d’art. Though traditional standards still govern the art and science of writing, the adoption of new technologies and talents continues to expand the possibilities of pen making. Technical excellence is the very least our community of Montegrappisti deserves. Above all, the imaginations of fantasists, visionaries – and our most exuberant users – are what spur us on to ever more audacious and uncommon creations.
