The Cosmopolitan - Gothic
Italy's
first pen manufacturer began manufacturing pens in 1912 in its factory in
Bassano del Grappa - a picturesque town along the Brenta River, which flows
through Alpine foothills in northeastern Italy. Utilizing natural celluloid
and precious metals, Montegrappa combines traditional methods of low-relief
engraving to form their precious art objects. The Gothic features ornate
tracery evoking the intricacies of medieval cathedrals. Whether they use
colors reminiscent of the master painters or ornamentation suggestive of
Baroque palaces, the Italian heritage and romance is infused into each
instrument. Try one and recognize the pleasure that can only be known
through writing--by hand.
