Exquisite Silver Italy 150th Anniversary Montegrappa Fountain Pen

Based on the iconic limited edition 1930 Extra, Montegrappa has paid tribute to the Italian flag with the Italy 150th Anniversary edition. Italy, known as a great ancient civilization, boasts a rich history encompassing the Etruscans and the Roman Empire. It played a significant role during the Renaissance. Victor Emmanuel II became the first king of a united Italy in 1861, holding the title until his death in 1878. Marking one and a half centuries since his coronation, the Montegrappa pen in its final colours is a symbol of a united Italy, Bandiera d'Italia, affectionately called the "tricolore italiano". This combination of colours has become a connotation of Italy; we find it on cars, clothing labels, restaurant menus. When we see three vertical stripes of green, white, and red, regardless of the context, our thoughts turn to Italy.

Article 12 of the Italian Constitution, approved by the Legislative Assembly on December 22, 1947, states that: "The flag of the Republic is the Italian tricolor. Green, white, and red, in three vertical stripes of equal width," referencing the red and white flags of Milan and the green of the civic guard uniform. In its early form, it also bore an emblem consisting of a laurel wreath adorned with a trophy of arms and four arrows, representing the four provinces that formed the Cispadane Republic. This banner evolved over two centuries into its current form, adopted on January 1, 1948, alongside the widespread adoption of the Republican Constitution and the end of the Savoy dynasty's rule.

The three colours also adorn commemorative pens based on the iconic Montegrappa 1930 Extra, finished in resin. For the 150th Anniversary of the Italian Flag, a limited collection of 1500 fountain and ballpoint pens was issued, with silver finishes. Complementing the Silver Edition are an additional 150 fountain pens and 150 ballpoints, finished with 18K solid gold accents.

Thanks to Montegrappa, a proud symbol of Italian style and creativity, a series of limited writing instruments has been created. We can feel a connection to the history of this magnificent country and inspire others by owning a luxurious pen.
