We’re excited to announce the Visconti  "Comedia" collection inspired by Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Visconti releases few entirely new collections, and this one stands out for two reasons: It’s absolutely gorgeous and, at a slightly lower price than usual, making it an exceptional value.

Each pen features special trims 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.

These three different version of the Comedia 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 pen’s 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 rollerball makes a perfect companion to the fountain pen. The refill colors and point sizes available make this two piece rollerball a great additional liquid ink writer. Please note! No two Visconti Comedia pens are alike. Each is made from a custom resin with unique flows of color. Every piece has a totally different display of the wonderful colors. With the new collection comes a unique box that features a silhouette of Dante Alighieri to honor the Italian poet.
