Comedia Inferno

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 know as the Divine Comedy, (Divina
Commedia), 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.
Each pen mounts special trims and colored resins designed specifically to express the imagery peculiar 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 theInferno. Purgatorio (Purgatory) is equipped with palladium trims, while the resin is taupe- brown as the purgatorial mountain with greysh 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 versions of the Comedia are united by the unique design of the central ring, thought up specifically for this collection and featuring two bands covered in a hammered texture – a detail also found in the pens’ distinctive metal section. Each individual central ring is then individually engraved by our craftsmen with the
inscription “Comedia” followed by the name of the specific model – Inferno, Purgatorio or Paradiso.
Our Comedia is yet another act of Visconti’s love for the city of Florence, cradle of the Italian Renaissance and embodiment of the craftsmanship that defines our creations. Meticulous attention to detail and a love of art and human culture are values that Visconti
has always been committed to, embodying them in the development of this collection. Collection includes: fountain pen with cartridge/converter filling system, twist ballpoint and rollerball with magnetic cap closure.

The collection will be available after the 5th of June 2024
