Visconti Mirage Mythos Aphrodite Ballpoint

Visconti presents a brand new collection with a ‘divine’ look: Apollo, Zeus and Aphrodite are the protagonists of the Mirage Mythos.

Greek mythology teaches that the Olympian gods are immortal beings, governing the life and death of human beings. The three personalities we selected represent three different supernatural forces for Visconti to be inspired by.

• Apollo is the god of the arts, music, poetry and science. He is the son of Zeus and the symbols that identify him are, among others, the Sun, the lyre, the bow and arrow.
• Zeus is King of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus, god of the sky, lightning and atmospheric phenomena. The thunderbolt is his symbol for excellence.
• Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. Daughter of Zeus, her most recognisable symbols are the dove and the sparrow.

The three brand new colours of the Visconti Mirage collection are shaded with gold powder, each corresponding to a divinity: we chose brown for Apollo, blue for Zeus and purple for Aphrodite.

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.
