Virgilio Visconti Limited Edition Comedia Fountain Pens

Introducing the Visconti Limited Edition Comedia Virgilio and Caronte Fountain Pens!

Visconti embarks on a new journey through Dante's immortal masterpiece, the Divine Comedy. This special limited edition is dedicated to the timeless figures that have represented the human soul throughout centuries of literature and history. Virgilio and Caronte, pay homage to the guiding wisdom and the unrelenting force of fate that shape the journey of the afterlife. Paolo & Francesca, dedicated to the most profound and universal force of human experience: love.

Paolo & Francesca - Lovers in life, they were killed by Francesca’s husband - who was also Paolo’s brother -after being discovered together. For this reason, Dante places them in the second circle of Hell, among the lustful souls swept away by a passion stronger than reason. Condemned to be carried forever within an endless storm, they remain united for eternity, symbolizing a love that endures beyond sin and death. The resin body is distinguished by a fluid interplay of red, purple, blue, and white, evoking love, desire, and sin. The red of Francesca and the blue of Paolo merge into a deep violet, emphasizing their eternal union and creating once again a detail rich in meaning. Their names, engraved and enameled on the central ring, further seal this bond with a discreet yet deeply symbolic gesture. Each piece is unique, thanks to the natural variations of the material.

Virgilio - the venerable poet and Dante's unwavering guide through Inferno and Purgatorio, embodies reason, wisdom, and the pursuit of knowledge. Always depicted in a flowing white tunic and crowned with laurel. The Virgilio pen features a refined acrylic resin body in shades of ivory, transitioning into hints of laurel green and touches of fire red, symbolizing wisdom and the passion for enlightenment. Adorned with bright yellow gold trims, this pen is a tribute to the poet's noble spirit. The central ring is engraved and enameled with Virgilio's name, a signature of his eternal legacy.

Caronte - a striking dark gray-blue coloration, evoking the turbulent waters of the infernal river. Dark ruthenium finishes enhance its shadowy aura. Caronte's name is engraved and enameled on the central ring, just as the cap's finial is also finely engraved and enameled.

Both Virgilio and Caronte pens are available in fountain pen, rollerball, and ballpoint versions, each limited to 999 pieces.

Made of Acrylic Resin.
