The volume 'Füllfederhalter' edited by Giorgio Dragoni and Giuseppe Fichera portrays a multitude of writing-instrument makers, including prominently Montblanc. The first chapters are devoted to the cultural significance of writing and the development history of the fountain pen. In the second part a selection of striking models is presented, e.g. the Rouge et Noir, several Astoria pens, the Montblanc 139, as well as modern pieces like the Lorenzo de Medici. A famous passage on page 173 honours the Meisterstück series as the line that breaks all records regarding size, beauty, durability and robustness. The work is partly still available in the regular book trade.
