The organic, burgundy veins of the Vinum Atrum material symbolise the channelling of centuries-old wisdom.
This pen is available in strictly limited quantities: 100 rollerballs and 250 fountain pens.
Famous Verses
The Extra Verses pays tribute to the sages of ancient Rome, whose wise verses continue to offer guidance for modern life. Their ancient wisdom is passed down the generations, providing strength and direction in moments of doubt.
Proverbs from the minds of great Latin thinkers provide the inspiration for a this writing instrument by Montegrappa. Their intellectual eloquence is depicted in the sterling silver capband, which recites Latin verses from the minds of Horace, Cicero and Seneca: Protinus vive (Live in the now), Historia magistra vitae (History is the teacher of life), Vivere est cogitare (To live is to think) and Carpe diem (Seize the day).
A deluxe burgundy presentation case accompanies the Extra Verses and features a lid inlay bearing a montage of Ancient Rome’s most enduring verses.
