Montegrappa Desiderio Ballpoint or Rollerball Pen

Based in the picturesque Italian town of Bassano del Grappa, Montegrappa has been making beautiful, functional pens since 1912—pens that inspire the writer to write. Among them is the Desiderio, available here in ballpoint and rollerball versions. Named for the Italian word for “desire,” it’s meant to encourage brave, honest expression when you put pen to paper. Each one is crafted from pearlescent resin using a combination of modern and traditional pen-making techniques. Solid sterling silver trim complements the resin body, and the pocket clip has a rolling ball at the end to hook safely and securely over a notebook cover or shirt pocket. Both the rolling ball and the ring around the cap are done in a contrasting color. No two Desiderio pens are exactly alike.
