MONTEGRAPPA NEW LOGO PALE.jpg

My affiliation with MONTEGRAPPA is well known,

and the reason for this, quite simply is because..

I love their pens!
Attention to detail, and their respect of craftsmanship and employment of great artisans sets this brand apart

from all the rest. 

Montegrappa was founded in 1912. Its products are still manufactured in the original factory on the river Brenta, in Bassano del Grappa near Vicenza, in the North-East of Italy.

During the First World War Bassano was a centre of military operations. Among the many soldiers who used the company's pens (Elmo at that time) for their correspondence were two celebrated 20th-century writers, Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos, who had both volunteered for service as ambulance drivers.

The company was at its high point in the 1930s. It was a period when the fountain pen became widespread and the products of the House of Bassano met the taste of the public with their sober design, the variety of their colours and materials (among the first to use celluloid and galalith), the operation of their technical solutions, and the originality and precision of their manufacturing techniques.


I use and highly recommend MONTEGRAPPA pens.
