Montegrappa ll Teatro La Fenice Limited Edition Gold Fountain Pen

Montegrappa ll Teatro La Fenice Limited Edition Gold Fountain Pen - To honour one of the world's greatest opera houses, a musical and cultural edifice that has seen its share of glory and tragedy, Montegrappa faced a challenge. Although every pen in the series is inherently rare, with an individual serial number to identify its provenance, Montegrappa has provided the scope for further personalisation.

The blind cap can be removed and embellished with the raised monogram of the pen's owner, which may then be used as a seal for the wax to endorse one's stationery. A small piece of wax, in a colour matching the celluloid, is included in the box of the pen.

How does one represent the spirit of a location that embodies its name so perfectly, one which has lived three separate lives? For "Il Teatro La Fenice", the legendary opera house of Venice, Montegrappa has fashioned luxurious fountain pens and roller balls framed by the aesthetic details that accent this exquisite hall, to convey the history with which it is imbued. Its name - Italian for "the Phoenix" - is no mere conceit, but one that was chosen bravely to symbolise a saga that encompasses the three conflagrations which have destroyed La Fenice. On every occasion, the community of Venice has rallied to rebuild the opera house, ensuring that it would be truly on a par with the world's greatest venues.
