The feather family was named after the Goddess Fortuna, the personification of luck according to the ancient Romans.Fortuna`s identity as the embodiment of fortuitous events was closely linked to `Virtus`, or strength of character. At Montegrappa, they firmly believe that good fortune is undoubtedly linked to virtue, while education is the basis on which an individual develops and nurtures his or her innate talents. They also believe that handwriting is an essential element of the education process and an indispensable function, even in today`s hurried, digitalised society.For this reason, the original "Fortuna" collection was created with a view to those who still indulge in the pleasure of writing. This pen, in addition to all of the above, alludes to "Italianness", an innate quality of all Montegrappa pens. Fortuna" takes this concept a step further in its latest form: the tricolore. Adorned with parts made of palladium on brass, the resin barrel is striped from the top of the cap to the end of the barrel in the green-white-red of the Italian flag. Equipped with a two-colour fine nib.
