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.
Each pen features special trims and colored resins designed specifically to express the imagery particular to each of Dante's realms. 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.
These three different versions of the Comediaare 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 innavidual ring is then innavidually engraved by our craftsmen with the inscription 'Comedia' followed by the name of the specific model - Inferno, Purgatorio or Paradiso.
A converter is included, and it also accepts standard international short cartridges. It also features Visconti's steel nib (the same as on the Visconti Mythos) that is plated to match the trim.
