Product Information
£655
Carlo Collodi, whose real name was Carlo Lorenzini, was born on 24th of November 1826 in Florence and grew up under modest circumstances. Carlo Collodi was many things in his life – a journalist, book dealer, civil servant, revolutionary and author, but he was never famous. He died on 26 October 1890, just a few years after the publication of his greatest work and just before “Le avventure di Pinocchio. Storia di un burattino (The Adventures of Pinocchio. The story of a wooden puppet)” started to become one of the world’s most widely read books.
The barrel is made of dark brown precious resin, perfectly complemented by a champagne-tone gold-plated cone as an impressive representation of Pinocchio’s remarkable nose. A screw set into the clip symbolises the joints of the famous marionette whereas the hand-crafted nib made of 18 K champagne gold is engraved with a subtle reminder of the story: the cricket – the embodiment of Pinocchio’s conscience. Champagne-tone gold-plated fittings and the ivory-coloured Montblanc emblem underline the uniqueness of the writing instruments as it is prooved by the limitation number engraved on the cap. Collodi’s signature completes the cap of this enchanting Limited Writers Edition.
The Writers Edition Carlo Collodi comprises a fountain pen, a ballpoint pen, a mechanical pencil and a rollerball and is only available in a strictly limited edition worldwide. Aside from this unique masterpiece, there is a special Carlo Collodi ink available in dark brown, perfectly reflecting the barrel of this Limited Writers Edition.
