Memoria is Italian for memory, a name chosen for the evocative strength of a bygone era, when the importance of a written word was crucial for the development of a more educated and civilised society. The source of inspiration for this collection is a model of the nineties, re-styled according to the most recent design criteria.
The top of the cap boasts the typical Montegrappa crown derived from the iconic NeroUno, with the Montegrappa logo proudly showing when the pen is placed in one's pocket. The pen has a cap and barrel in sterling silver with satin finish.
The pen uses standard, "Parker-sized", refills, which can be found

Italy's first pen manufacturer, Montegrappa, began manufacturing pens in 1912 in its factory in Bassano del Grappa - a picturesque town along the Brenta River, which flows through Alpine foothills in northeastern Italy. Utilizing natural celluloid and precious metals, Montegrappa combines traditional methods such as die-casting with more recent innovations as low-relief engraving to form their precious art objects. Whether they use colors reminiscent of the master painters or ornamentation suggestive of Baroque palaces, the Italian heritage and romance is infused into each product.
