Mr. Stallone used his blockbuster film, The Expendables, as inspiration
for the theme and design of his signature pen; aptly titled “Chaos.”
Working with Montegrappa’s artisans, Stallone turned to classical art to
help express his representation of chaos. To ensure that the use of the
language was cultivated and not misused, they turned to the work of
16th century artists including Battista Franco, Albrecht Dürer, Hans
Sebald Beham and Antonio Pollaiolo to forge the image of Chaos and of
death, entwined inexorably and eternally. As Mr. Stallone explains, “My
idea of Chaos is a sense of the Renaissance, when things were more
simplified and perhaps more noble, placed against our current
technological society.”
