On the 550th anniversary of the birth of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Montegrappa honours the ultimate master of the Renaissance with a creation inspired by his greatest works. Architecture, painting and sculpture converge in a writing silhouette that reinterprets Michelangelo’s creative genius as an objet d’art—an expression of the highest Italian craftsmanship. A spectacular lost-wax casting recreates the architectural rhythm of the Sistine Chapel’s windows, mirrored along the barrel and cap to frame an exclusive, hand-painted detail from La Creazione di Adamo. Crowning the cap, the domed skylight of Florence’s Galleria dell’Accademia Tribuna shelters a micro-sculpted miniature of David, poised on the clip—a symbol of courage and intellect triumphing over brute force.

Sculptor, architect, poet, and painter—Michelangelo was gesture, idea, and vision: a genius who spoke every language of art. Each detail of this silhouette reflects an ideal tension toward beauty, truth, and faith. The body, crafted in Montegrappite, evokes Carrara marble and provides the setting for the mirrored architectural motif of the Sistine Chapel’s windows, sculpted in solid silver through intricate lost-wax casting. Italian artistry at its finest revisits the Renaissance.
The Touch of God—now within your hands. Hand-painted across cap and barrel, the detail of La Creazione di Adamo captures the instant when man receives the divine spark—a moment of tension, grace, and transcendence, as reimagined by Michelangelo in his timeless vision of Genesis. Rarely seen beyond private Atelier commissions, this painterly flourish returns for the first time since Raffaello, reaffirming the artistic soul and collectible stature of this remarkable edition.
A vision in marble. A triumph of spirit. Michelangelo’s David—hailed by Vasari as “the most beautiful sculpture of all time, ancient or modern”—is reborn in miniature, cast in sterling silver on the clip. Above it, the cap is crowned with a domed finial that echoes the skylight of Florence’s Tribuna—a space conceived to bathe the statue in pure, celestial light, and to exalt its flawless form.
Only 88 fountain pens—fitted with 18K gold nibs and piston-filling systems—and 88 rollerballs will be made. Each is individually numbered and housed in a collector’s display case, created to preserve the legacy of a true masterpiece.
