Montegrappa – the oldest and most respected manufacturer of writing instruments in Italy – has ventured on a journey to touch the soul of the writer and has identified three of the most important human conditions that inspire the poet, the songwriter, the literary man, the lover. Emotion, Desire and Passion form a triumvirate of pen families that express our most powerful thoughts and feelings. For Italians, passion means more than just burning desire and obsession. It can also mean deep affection, cultivating a hobby or love for a sports team. Whatever definition is used, it is always characterized by an interest that is not simply fleeting. It can demonstrate a love so strong that it is barely contained, whether for a person or a genre of music, or for art or sculpture or theater, or even for collecting inanimate objects. In the same way as Desiderio, his twin, Passione can be decidedly sensual. All Montegrappa writing instruments are guaranteed against any manufacturing defect for 24 months from the date of purchase. Any part of this pen with even the slightest manufacturing defect detected by our authorized customer service department will be repaired or replaced under warranty. To benefit from the international guarantee, simply present the international guarantee certificate, correctly completed by one of our authorized resellers, complete with stamp and date, to one of the Montegrappa assistance centres.
