Any Montegrappa Piacere Owners? Plz. Give A Review

Recommended Posts

Hi there!

Montegrappa Piacere seems to be a new model: many offers on ebay and shops but no reviews at all. Since I prefer slim pens like Parker Vector I like the design of the Piacere.

 

Are there any owners of this pen here? Could you please give a brief review or share your opinion on this pen?

Good looking pen! I recently got my first Montegrappa and love the way it looks and writes (Memoria). Isn't the Piacere on pre-order?

It looks like a nice entry level Montegrappa but did you know you can probably pick up a 300 or 400 series Montegrappa for about the same price or less? They are relatively slim pens and often found with the wonderful 18K Montegrappa nibs.

Jar, no I didn't know that, thank you. I also agree that Piacere pens are a little bit overpriced for an entry level with steel nibs!

The 300/400 are slim pens, similar to the Sheaffer Targa, Parker "75" and others of that era. Here it is compared to a Targa.

Greek pattern on the nib looks very good. Speaking about Piacere I will not buy this pen in the nearest future for sure :) Thank you for your advices)

Exactly! Recently I picked up a half dozen of NOS 300s (sterling body, lacquered cap) for around 135USD each, shipping included. Wonderful pens, just too slim.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
