Genio Creativo Tributo ad Antonio Stradivari Fountain Pen

Antonio Stradivari - In 2007, Montegrappa launched the latest, once-a-year "Genio Creativo" collection. In this newest edition, Montegrappa aimed to pay tribute to the genius of outstanding historical figures. The first edition, a limited annual collection of Genio Creativo, is dedicated to Antonio Stradivari – the brilliant maker of legendary string instruments.

To this day, no one has been able to match this 17th-century luthier, nor break the mystery of the sound of the instruments crafted by him. Stradivarius violins are considered the greatest achievements in the history of luthiery, serving as an unmatched model for artisans of later eras. Most of the greatest virtuosos in history played on these instruments. They often bore the names of famous owners, e.g., the 1717 violin called Salerno belonged to Henryk Wieniawski. Authentic Stradivari instruments are now an extraordinary rarity, with only about 1,000 in existence worldwide. Their market-driven prices, starting at one million dollars, continue to rise.

Today’s creators of the limited edition Antonio Stradivari fountain pens have crafted instruments worthy of a virtuoso. Each pen, topped with a nib made of white gold, is decorated with elements in yellow gold and initials A.S. An exceptional signature that master Stradivari used on his works. The delicate, almost sensual design of the collection reflects the narrowing shape of the violin’s middle section.

The clip of the cap is also designed to evoke the strings of the instrument. Additionally, the cap is adorned with an engraving of Montegrappa surrounded by a background of pure turquoise – a symbol of human genius’s uniqueness. The true soul of the instrument, however, is echoed in the wood used to make the violin. Its color and structure are reflected in the precious resin mass covering the pen’s body.

Montegrappa’s master craftsmen, through their creativity and passion, created a masterpiece, whose perfection in turn became a source of further inspiration.
