Description

Honoring the life and creations of the Florentine poet, Dante Alighieri, 700 years after his passing, Montegrappa debuted the new Divina Commedia series.

Presented in a vintage replica of Dante's most famous book, which opens with the same well-known transcription from the gates of hell "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate" ("Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"), the first fountain pen in the series is, as you have already guessed: Inferno.

Carefully crafted from silver and limited to 333 pieces available in silver and 9 in 18k gold, Inferno is a nod to Dante's famous rima terza structure. With an artisanal core of a special magma blend of Montegrapphite that provides the backdrop for the story, the body and cap bring us every detail of Dante's voyage through the nine circles of hell: Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Heresy, Violence, Fraud and Treachery.

From top to bottom, the intricate silver details take us through the nine circles of escalating horror, every sin and punishment found at each level, a perfect depiction of Dante's description of the underworld.

By daring to write his most famous work in the local Florentine dialect, after more than 700 years since its completion, Inferno continues to reverberate through literature and art, and for the Italians, he insured immortality by paving the way for the language that later became Italian.

An Object to Own More Than to Write With

I purchased this Gravitas Twist (Grade 5 titanium) and wanted to share my thoughts.

• The tip shows zero wobble while writing — the build feels extremely solid.
• The twist mechanism has a clear rotational feel, but it reads more as a “push” motion than a gadget-like click. There’s no satisfying tactile snap in the hand, so this may not suit everyone’s taste.
• The coating’s color is beautiful and pairs especially well with a leather pen case — I really like this combination.
• The center of gravity sits fairly high, giving a sense that the pen swings a bit while writing. Those with smaller hands may find this top-heavy balance noticeable.
• This feels less like a pen optimized for writing feel, and more like an object meant to be enjoyed simply for how it sits in the hand.
• Being titanium, it’s light, yet the rigidity is very pronounced — well suited to those who write with a heavy hand.
• The coating feels extremely durable; I’d expect it to resist both discoloration and scratches over time.

Great feeling in the hand, do not love the nib.

I love the feel of this pen. I am a fan of a pen that feels like it has heft. The Sentry in copper absolutely fits the bill. Unfortunately for me, I find the nib to be a bit challenging in terms of flow. A bit of a search tells me this isnt ridiculously uncommon and there are various things to try to fix it. I've ordered a new nib separately. While there are other steps I could have gone through to try to resolve, it seems like a problem I shouldn't have with a brand new pen.
Still 4 stars because everything about this pen is magnificent.

First Leonardo Momento Zero

Its a exquisite pen to use.

Fantastic Pen!

I wanted to drop a quick note to say that the Titan Slim Line is a very impressive pen and wonderful to write with! I started with a medium nib, which I quickly realized wasn’t what I really wanted as this pen felt like a daily writer, so I replaced the nib with a standard Jowo fine that perfectly screwed right in. The fit and finish are extremely nice on the pen! It really feels like one solid piece since the clearances between both the screw down finial and the metal to acrylic sections of the body are so finely machined! I really love the micro grooves in the section that give it a very pleasant feel when writing. The exceptionally smooth filling mechanism and the amount of suction produced is class leading in my opinion. Some will feel the price is too high due to no gold nib, but I’ll say the pen puts gold nibbed pens with basic acrylic bodies and converters in second place to me. Finally, Pen Venture had the pen to my house in the US in less than a week, including of course, a lovely hand written note. I suggest buying this pen if you are on the fence and seriously considering it if you are looking for a unique and beautiful new pen.
