Montegrappa celebrates one of the most iconic designs in history, and marks thirty years since the Space Shuttle took the first Italian into space. Thus appears the new special edition, NASA Atlantis.
When the Space Shuttle lifted off on its inaugural mission in the spring of 1981, it marked the beginning of a new era in space exploration. Giuseppe Aquila remembers the moment vividly: "I was eleven years old and stayed up with my brothers to watch the launch," recalls the owner of Montegrappa. NASA Atlantis uses high-density resin, enamel and stainless steel to evoke the clean, futuristic lines of the space shuttle.
