Since 1912, for precisely 100 years, Montegrappa has been manufacturing high-quality writing instruments in the same historic building in Bassano del Grappa.
Red: the colour that stirs the soul. As smouldering as the passion it inspires, it is the colour of heat, the colour of love, the colour of the lips that complete a kiss. It is, by its very nature, the colour of St Valentine’s Day.
St. Valentine’s Day has been associated with romantic love since the time of Geoffrey Chaucer. It has provided lovers with an ideal opportunity to express their feelings for each other, with a card or a gift. And there can be no better token of one’s affection that something personal and portable, a small treasure that the recipient will carry at all times … and which will remind her (or him) of a lover’s thoughts every time it is held and used.
From materials that convey the sensual pleasure of red at its most sanguine, Montegrappa has created a selection of writing instruments imbued with the spirit of St. Valentine’s Day. At once romantic and cheerful, passionate and playful, the pens suit all tastes, and in sizes from the traditional to the petite. In the Piccola, Micra, Miya, Emblema and Parola families one can find the exact writing instrument that one’s lover will always keep close by, in a purse or pocket, bag or briefcase.
Incidentally, like Montegrappa itself, red is the colour ofItaly.
