Montegrappa’s Fortuna line of pens is absolutely fantastic in every way - except the price😀 ….But I still bought three of the Fortuna pens. I would have liked to buy one or two more. So many very beautiful ones. I had never seen this Crown Skull pen before. If I had seen it two years ago, I think I would buy it. I guess I sacrificed a lot of possible pen purchases by buying the insanely priced but also magnificent Montegrappa Queen (Night at the Opera) pen. In any case, anybody who likes Italian pens and wants at least one Montegrappa should get a Fortuna pen, for sure. If this reviewed pen was for sale right now, I would try to buy it. Seriously. I’m so glad I searched for and found this excellent old review. Many thanks for making it, Paulo!
Love the Fortuna model and the woods are beautiful. Your videos do them just. But I’m not a fan of the Skulls line. It’s just a personal thing. Keep up the great videos. Thanks.
Hi thank you for your reviews, I enjoy them. I wonder why you refer to yourself in the plural, as in ‘we’, perhaps to sound more objective or businesslike? Just curious :-)
Hi! Thank you for your words and your question... I use "we" because I got used to it: when I started the blog, my brother assisted me with the contacts with brands and with a lot of the technological part (he is not into pens but he wanted to help me). For some time now I've been doing this alone (sometimes I ask him advices, but it is no longer an everyday collaboration). He has his own job and he is very busy and because this is not his passion he is no longer a "partner" in this. However in the beggining it was "we" and sometimes I say "I" and other times I go back to the "we", uncounsciously. That is the only reason

Beautiful pen.
Yes, it is. I love to use it in "formal" contexts knowing there is more to the pen than what is visible at a first glance...

Thank you for your comment. I didn't find this skull design interesting but it really grew on me...
