Joining Montegrappa’s ICONS series of pens celebrating the greats of sport, screen and song is the first woman to be so honoured. Sophia Loren – Italy’s finest screen actress – is represented by a curvaceous limited edition pen engraved with a pattern reminiscent of “lace,” a material she loves.

The Sophia Loren collection consists of 1934 Sterling Silver pens denoting the year of her birth, 29 Solid 18K Gold pens comprising 20 fountain pens and 9 rollerballs, representing her birth day and month.
