Story of Visconti's Craftsmanship
Visconti is pleased to announce the "Comedia" collection inspired by Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Dante Alighieri was born in 1265 in Florence and is considered to be the greatest Italian poet who has ever lived. He is also known as the father of the Italian language as we know it. His most important work "Comedia" later known as the Divine Comedy, (Divina Comedia), is a masterpiece of world literature that explores the afterlife through three realms: Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. Each realm is depicted with vivid imagery and symbolism, reflecting Dante's moral and spiritual vision of life. Inspired by this epic poem, Visconti has created a new collection that captures the essence of each realm in its design and craftsmanship.
"Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost."
-Dante Alighieri
Visconti Comedia: Each pen features special trims and colored resins designed specifically to express the imagery particular to each of Dante's realms. The Inferno (Hell) is made of solid black resin with flaming-red accents and dark ruthenium trims, evoking the fire and darkness of the Inferno. Purgatorio (Purgatory) is equipped with palladium trims, while the resin is taupe-brown as the purgatorial mountain with greyish shades representing the purifying journey of the souls. Finally, Paradiso (Heaven) is a celestial sky-blue with yellow gold trim, symbolizing the holy light and joyful nobility of paradise.
Design Details: These three different version of the Comedia are united by the unique design of the central ring, crafted specifically for this collection, featuring two bands covered in a hammered texture - a detail also found in the pens' distinctive metal section. Each individual ring is then individually engraved by our craftsmen with the inscription "Comedia" followed by the name of the specific model - Inferno, Purgatorio or Paradiso.
Large Steel Nib
The Comedia collection features Visconti's large steel nib that is plated to match the trims:
- Inferno with ruthenium trims
- Purgatorio with palladium trims
- Paradiso with yellow gold trims
Comedia Collection: The Comedia collection is available in fountain pen, rollerball, and ballpoint and is yet another act of Visconti's love for the city of Florence, cradle of the Italian Renaissance and embodiment of the craftsmanship that defines our creations. Meticulous attention to detail and a love of art and human culture are values that Visconti has always been committed to, embodying them in the development of this collection.
Comedia Box: With the new collection comes a unique box that features a silhouette of Dante Alighieri on to honor the Italian poet.
Due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. We cannot honor special requests.
