Figures ahead of their time... mavericks unafraid of conventional wisdom. The Montegrappa Avanguardia Series celebrates characters whose rejection of

the status quo changed how we experience the world. Men like Nicolaus Copernicus, Charles Darwin and Guglielmo Marconi.

His discovery earned him the 1909 Nobel Prize for Physics and would prove to be one of history’s most consequential technological breakthroughs. As the inventor of telegraphic communication and father of radio, Marconi was an Italian innovator whose curiosity laid the foundations for today’s connected world.

150 years after his birth, we salute a captain of industry with 150 fountain pens and rollerballs. A bureau display immerses owners in the pioneering tech of signals science.

Modular brass segments trace Marconi’s experimentations in electromagnetics. Detailing includes rose-gold electroplating, braided cable, and a polycarbonate coherer chamber.

Avanguardia inside and out. Vintage appearances mask advanced engineering and fabrication, including one-step, Power-Push charging to please fountain pen futurists.
