Montegrappa Dante Alighieri Inferno with Sterling Silver Trim Fountain Pen (Limited Edition)

Limited to 333 pieces worldwide, the Montegrappa Limited Edition Dante Alighieri Inferno with Sterling Silver Trim Fountain Pen honors Dante Alighieri – writer of The Divine Comedy and father of the Italian language. 700 years after his death, Dante’s virtuosity continues to dazzle readers and historians alike, with few works more fabled than his terrifying Inferno.

Made in Italy, Dante Alighieri: Inferno is handcrafted from precious metals and a special ‘magma’ batch of Montegrappite artisanal resin. Heavenly writing performance meets high-precision micro-sculpting in a work that brings the supreme poet’s dark vision to life in your hand. From blind cap to top disc, every intricate element of Dante Alighieri: Inferno recounts Dante’s voyage from the mysterious forest to the icy bowels of hell.

Design Details:

• Lucifer’s pointed tail protrudes from the cap to form a pocket-clip of demonic intent.
• Lost-wax casting reconstructs Dante’s nine circles of hell with meticulous detail.
• Beneath Limbo and the river of Acheron, every miniature chasm examines sins of increasing severity:

Cap - Lust, Gluttony, Greed, and Wrath

Barrel - Heresy, Violence, Fraud and Treachery

The exquisite packaging is presented in a case inspired by a leather-bound edition of Dante’s classic, with each writing instrument secured in place by the writer’s foreboding words “Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch’intrate” (Abandon all hope, ye who enter here).

Available in both Sterling Silver, each numbered limited edition observes Dante's rigorous use of the number three as a thematic, lyrical and structural device. The series is limited to 333 Sterling Silver pieces.

A little History...

Inferno is the first canticle from the Divine Comedy – Dante Alighieri’s epic 14,233-line narrative poem. His story of love, sin and redemption is widely celebrated as a literary classic and is recognized as a foundation stone in the propagation of modern Italian.

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) was a poet and political figure, whose 1302 exile from Florence and subsequent travels inspired his famous tale of a pilgrim’s journey to God.

Dante Alighieri: Inferno is the first in a trinity of writing instruments in Divina Commedia.
