Michelangelo 550th Anniversary Fountain Pen

On the 550th anniversary of the birth of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Montegrappa honours the ultimate master of the Renaissance with a creation inspired by his greatest works. Architecture, painting and sculpture converge in a writing silhouette that reinterprets Michelangelo’s creative genius as an objet d’art—an expression of the highest Italian craftsmanship. A spectacular lost-wax casting recreates the architectural rhythm of the Sistine Chapel’s windows, mirrored along the barrel and cap to frame an exclusive, hand-painted detail from La Creazione di Adamo. Crowning the cap, the domed skylight of Florence’s Galleria dell’Accademia Tribuna shelters a micro-sculpted miniature of David, poised on the clip—a symbol of courage and intellect triumphing over brute force.
