Visconti Comedia Fountain Pens

The Visconti Comedia fountain pens are inspired by Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Each of the cartridge converter fountain pens in the collection features special trim 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.

The three different versions of the Visconti Comedia fountain pens 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.

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

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.

The Comedia collection is also available in rollerball or ballpoint. The stunning collection is another act of Visconti's love for the city of Florence, cradle of the Italian Renaissance and embodiment of the craftsmanship that defines their creations. Meticulous attention to detail and a love of art and human culture are values that Visconti has always been committed to, and the dedication is apparent in this beautiful new 2024 collection.

The Visconti Comedia Collection pens are packaged in a unique box featuring a silhouette of Dante Alighieri.
