A charismatic character, with a great dream and unshakable will – Enzo Ferrari, the man behind Ferrari cars, was this and much more. The prestigious fountain pen created by Montblanc and part of its Great Characters line pays tribute to his figure. Available as a special edition, the pen is offered in the unique Giallo Modena hue, Ferrari's "second soul" after the colour red and inspired by the coat of arms of the town where the 'Commendatore' was born as well as by the background colour of the Prancing Horse Shield. The model's elegant silhouette recalls that of the unforgettable Ferrari 500 and is enhanced with legendary details, such as the 250 GTO's steering wheel engraved on the nib, and accompanied by one of Ferrari's nicknames, " Pilota ". It also features the famous quote "You cannot describe passion, you can only live it" on the clip and " Le porterà fortuna " ("It will bring you luck"), the words uttered by countess Paolina di Biancoli – mother of Italian aviator Francesco Baracca – when she suggested adopting the Horse as the Scuderia's logo. Ferrari's real date of birth – 18 February 1898 rather than 20 February as recorded on the official documents belatedly completed due to very heavy snowfall – as well as the place where a very young Enzo realised for the first time his passion for speed – the Officina Meccanica Alfredo Ferrari – are steeped in legend and lend a further iconic accent to this collector's item, completed with the Prancing Horse and Montblanc emblems.
