Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), was born in Poland. During his life, his work as a Renaissance polymath was not widely accepted. In fact even 200 years later when his work was starting to be recognized, the Catholic Church banned his theories. His heliocentric theory of the solar system contradicted other professionals and researchers of his time period.

The Montegrappa fountain pen is crafted of sterling silver (with the only non-sterling silver portion featured in the black and white celluloid grip section). Artisans used the lost wax casting technique to create a beautiful custom ruzzolino clip depicting a mathematician’s compass and a working reproduction of his celestial globe on the cap top. (Both elements replicate objects included on Copernicus’ official monument in front of Warsaw Polish Academy of Sciences).

Additional design details are created with low-relief engraving, with vermeil depicting the sun on the pen's lower barrel at the center of the eight orbiting planets hand-detailed in opalescent enamel finishes spaced along the length of the pen barrel and cap. Traditional Slavic cross-stitch patterns are showcased on the pen's blind cap and cap band, and Copernicus's signature is included on the pen's finial.
