Montegrappa, a proud symbol of Italian style, design and creativity, pays homage to creative
geniuses with its “Genio Creativo” Limited Edition series. The unique and precious talent of
a great Italian, Amedeo Modigliani, is celebrated in this spectacular collection. Just as
the artist’s famous portraits revealed the true essence of the soul, each detail of this
collection evokes Modigliani’s portraits: the barrel and cap are oval like their faces; the
clip is long and assymetrical like their noses, and the cap ring has the typical irregular
shape of his models’ lips. The solitary gem in the cap top symbolizes unique genius. The
refined resin is in deep blue, the color found in many of his works, and suggests his
strong, vibrant brush stroke. The fountain pen boasts a large 18kt gold nib, engraved with
one of Modigliani’s famous head studies, this edition consist of 3350 fountain pens, 2500
rollerball pens and 4000 ballpoint pens.
