Montegrappa Pens enriches the Miya Collection with a new and sophisticated version, Miya Argento (Argento in Italian means Silver), combining the precious celluloid and the sterling silver.More
The Montegrappa Miya Argento represents a perfect union of elegance and originality: the precious celluloid, with its brilliant and intense colours, enhances the rounded lines of the pen barrel providing a great pleasantness to the touch; the sterling silver cap gives this pen an extreme sophistication thanks to the elegant engraving and to the celluloid rings recalling the pen body colour. Also the section is engraved with the same cap motif which gives even more comfort in writing. Montegrappa Miya Argento is available as fountain pen and rollerball pen.
Montegrappa Pens manufactured since 1912 stands in the same historic building on the bank of the River Brenta, in one of the most picturesque areas of the historic town of Bassano del Grappa in the prosperous north-eastern part of Italy. This Italian heritage is an important value for a Brand that is the first Italian pen manufacturer: it is his tradition, his legacy. Since 1912 Montegrappa pens embody the Italian flair.
Founded as a "Manufacturer of gold nibs and fountain pens", the Bassano factory found itself in a key position during World War I. Among the many soldiers who used Montegrappa pens (then known as Elmo) to write letters home, there were also two celebrated American writers, Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos, who were both volunteer ambulance drivers at the front.
Montegrappa's pens are reserved for those who can't live without the emotions inspired by the feel of a crafted writing instrument between their fingers, responding to their delicate movements. Whether it be the colors reminiscent of the master painters or the ornaments of Baroque palaces, it is all part of Montegrappa's Italian heritage. In the land known for drama and love, where writers especially have come to get a taste of romance, no object is too small or too practical not to strive for beauty. As well as its limited editions, freely inspired by great moments of history and the most ancient passions of mankind, Montegrappa produces a regular range, for who want to indulge in a daily luxury.
