Roma Aeterna Limited Edition

Most of the pen that we encountered in the past using are inspire by one thing or a theme. Montegrappa Roma Aeterna draws the inspiration for its remarkable decoration from two places, which with the great strength of symbolic imagery speak to people today of the grandeur of Ancient Rome: the Roman Forum, the pulsating centre of the city’s political and military power, and the city of Pompeii, the extraordinarily vivid and expressive evidence of the daily life of the great patrician families.

Let us do the twist

Since we have both the Lamy Dialog 3 and Pilot Capless Fermo, we throught it will be a good idea to do comparsion between the two.


While Lamy Dialog 3 might be the company first foray into the capless market, they engaged a well known designer to lead the effort.  The details of the designer in a printed on a paper togather with instruction booklet. As for the Pilot, no details of the designer(s) is available, but it is well know that Pilot had been manufacturing Capless since 1964.

Greatest Opera ... The Barber Of Seville

This greatest operatic masterpieces,  Il barbiere di Siviglia , was written by Cesare Sterbini and Rossini. Cesare wrote the libretto for in just 11 days, from 18 to 29 January 1816 and within 20 days Rossini had completed the opera.


We feel he was incredible to be able to create one of the greatest operatic masterpieces ever in such a short space of time.
