Visconti Comedia Caronte Fountain pen

Visconti presents the Divine Comedia Limited Edition Pens, a stunning tribute to Dante’s immortal masterpiece. Following the success of the Comedìa Collection, this ongoing series delves into the timeless figures of Dante’s epic, starting with two iconic protagonists—Virgilio and Caronte—who symbolize wisdom, reason, and fate.

The Virgilio Fountain Pen pays homage to the venerable poet, Dante’s guide through Inferno and Purgatorio. With its refined acrylic resin body in shades of ivory, laurel green, and fire red, the Virgilio pen embodies knowledge and passion for enlightenment. Gold trims and an enameled central ring with Virgilio’s name add to its elegant design. This pen is a timeless reflection of the poet’s wisdom and noble spirit.

In contrast, the Caronte Fountain Pen represents the dark passage into the unknown, evoking the turbulent waters of the Acheron. The pen features a striking dark gray-blue coloration, enhanced by dark ruthenium finishes, symbolizing Caronte’s shadowy and foreboding energy. Just like the Virgilio pen, Caronte’s name is engraved and enameled on the central ring and cap finial, completing the design with a bold tribute to fate’s guiding force.

Both pens are available in fountain pen, rollerball, and ballpoint versions, each strictly limited to 999 pieces, a nod to the mystical significance of the numbers three and nine in Dante’s work. Visconti’s Divine Comedia Pens are not only exquisite writing instruments but also carry forth the literary legacy of Dante’s masterpiece, offering a timeless journey through the power of the written word.

Visconti Divine Comedia Pens honor Italy’s literary and artistic heritage, making them an essential addition to any collection. These pens are perfect for those who appreciate the intersection of art, literature, and fine craftsmanship.

The Visconti Comedia fountain pen is equipped with a stainless steel nib and uses a cartridge/converter filling system.

The name Visconti has been for the past twenty years a synonym for writing instruments of extraordinary beauty, historically and technologically studied. The fountain pens, rollers and ballpoint pens by Visconti make up a wide range of high quality instruments with a strong identification.
