Montegrappa Desiderio Montegrappa – the oldest and most respected manufacturer of writing instruments in Italy – has embarked on a journey to touch the very soul of the writer. In doing so, it identified three of the most profound human conditions that inspire poets, songwriters, novelists, and lovers alike: **Emotion, Desire, and Passion**. Together, they form a triumvirate of pen families designed to express our deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. **Desiderio** represents the deep longing of a man or woman for the object of their ardor. It may be the drive to fulfill a role, the pursuit of a dream, or the realization of an ambition. Desire is the irresistible force that fuels great art, heroic achievements, and monumental efforts. For a musician, it may flow into the notes of an epic symphony or a melancholic ballad. For another, it becomes a love letter that burns through the page or a poem that reaches into the reader’s heart. Capturing this emotion in a writing instrument is no small challenge, yet Montegrappa has succeeded with the **Desiderio** series – a collection steeped in mystery, because the power of pure desire can never be fully explained. This particular pen is **extraordinary**: crafted from **bi-color pearlescent resin in a color combination never released to the public** – because it is a **factory sample**. Fitted with solid sterling silver trim (925‰) and an 18K gold filigree-decorated nib, it stands apart from all others. No two are exactly alike, just as no two desires are identical – the swirling striations of resin ensure each piece is one-of-a-kind. Montegrappa’s iconic octagon crowns the cap, while the signature rolling clip-ball and a slim decorative band at the cap’s base are accented in a contrasting color. Remove the cap, and the second color reveals itself again at the junction of the fountain pen and roller sections. Since 1912, Montegrappa has been producing high-quality writing instruments from the same historic building in Bassano del Grappa, in the northeast of Italy – a tradition of excellence spanning more than a century. **Shipping:** Fast, secure express courier shipping with full tracking.
