Montegrappa honors one ofthe worlds greatest artists, writers and thinkers, Montegrappa created the Genio Creativo series of pens. Each represents the achievements of an intellectual or artistic giant in a writing instrument that embodies the spirit of a specific work, as interpreted by Montegrappas artisans. Joining writer and philosopher Kahlil Gibran and the artist Vecellio Tiziano, known as Titian, is the sculptorAntoinio Canova.

The daughters of Zeus symbolise beauty, elegance and mirth in Antonio Canovas The Three Graces. The Venetian sculptors neoclassical masterpiece is the subject of a limited edition formed from the dust of finest Carrara marble into a writing implement of rare splendour and grace. A clip evoking the pleated drapes of Canovas models completes a piece made to delight the ancient Gods.

Antonio Canova (1 November 1757 13 October 1822) was an Italian sculptor famous for his work in marble. Often regarded as the greatest of the neoclassical artists, his work was inspired by the Baroque and the classical revival, but made more contemporary by dispensing with the melodrama of the former and adding a human element to the latter.
