This fine pen commemorates the poignant hymn about the First World War, ‘Monte Grappa Tu Sei La Mia Patria,’ an anthem intrinsic to Italian heritage. Beyond being a writing tool, this pen honors the bravery, solemnity, and irrepressible spirit of the Monte Grappa region a century after the song was first performed. The translucent body provides a view of the piston-filling system, accented by a resin cap and hood that resemble vintage marble.
