Montegrappa - Fortuna Ultra Black (ITFOR3LC) - Fountain pen

[ translate ]

Fortune is a figure usually associated with the Goddess of chance and destiny. With a dual nature, always positive, she aided humans in their endeavors while also carrying an erotic aspect, giving rise to the saying "Being kissed by Fortune. " An ancient deity pre-dating Rome's foundation, Fortune was introduced by Servius Tullius, a king greatly favored by her. Romans attributed 26 temples in the capital to Fortune, each with a different epithet. Legend has it that the Goddess loved him, a mortal, and had a habit of entering his home through a small window. This is reflected in a statue of Servius Tullius within the Goddess's temple. Fortune, an ancient Italic deity later identified with the Greek Tyche, was also revered by the Romans, with various festivals dedicated to her on April 5-11-12, May 25, and June 11. Her worship took place in Preneste and Anzio, under different names.
