Montegrappa Dante Alighieri Purgatorio Sterling Silver Fountain Pen - Limited Edition
Edition Size: 333

After Inferno, the Divine Comedy resumes at the foot of Mount Purgatory, where only keys of gold and silver can allow passage to its seven terraces. Here, penitence provides a path to love, redemption and divine grace. Glorious jeweler’s castings trace Dante’s ascent as, one by one, he is rid of his sins. At a summit clad in cloisonné, Earthly Paradise and the cleansing waters of the river Lethe await.

With Dante under the spotlight again, Montegrappa has made sure of using the opportunity as a pronouncement of Italian creativity, creating an extraordinary design that not only celebrates the Divine Comedy, but recounts its story in unflinching detail. Dante Alighieri: Purgatorio is a new limited-edition release that recounts the journey of the poets Dante and Virgil through Purgatory – where sinners are suspended between the eternal realms of heaven and hell.

True to the maker’s tradition, Dante’s story is told with opulent extravagance, dividing its precious-metal body into segments that feature micro-sculptured detail of Mount Purgatory’s seven deadly sins. Enamel detailing, cloisonné and an artisanal resin core add color detailing that hints at the approaching heavens.

Montegrappa’s command of lost-wax casting – a modelling technique used in fine jewelry – has made it a darling of luxury aficionados.

Purgatorio illustrates ascending to Earthly Paradise through Mount Purgatory’s seven terraces. The combined effect – and its fealty to the source material – is astonishing in its artistry.

Handcrafted in Italy's oldest pen manufacturer, Dante Alighieri: Purgatorio brings the supreme poet’s tale of hope and redemption to life in your hand: combining high-precision micro-sculpting with heavenly writing performance.

From blind cap to top disc, every intricate element recounts Dante and Virgil’s ascent of Mount Purgatory. A clip comprising gold and silver keys marks their passage through Peter’s Gate.

Lost-wax casting meticulously reconstructs Purgatory’s seven terraces and their punishments. For Dante to ascend, angels must absolve him of Peccatum (sin) – a detail marked in fine relief.

Earthly Paradise and the cleansing waters of the river Lethe are realized in cloisonné. Here, Dante is reunited with Beatrice, and is prepared for his ascent to heaven.
