Comedia Paolo & Francesca Fountain pen by Visconti

Description

Comedia Paolo & Francesca Fountain pen by Visconti – Limited edition to 999 pieces

With the Paolo & Francesca edition, Visconti pays tribute to one of the most celebrated love stories in Italian literature. Immortalized by Dante in The Divine Comedy, Paolo and Francesca were two tragic lovers whose forbidden passion led them to a fateful end. Condemned to wander together through the second circle of Hell, they nevertheless remain united for eternity, symbolizing a love stronger than reason, time, and even death.

This edition transforms their story into a writing instrument rich in symbolism. The shades of red and blue, representing Francesca and Paolo respectively, blend into a deep purple that evokes their eternal union. Their names, bearing a stylized engraving on the central ring, serve as a reminder of the unbreakable bond that ties them together. Through this creation, Visconti celebrates love in its most absolute form: a passion capable of transcending the centuries and defying destiny.

“Love, that swiftly seizes the gentle heart,
seized this man for the fair form
that was taken from me; and the manner still offends me.”

Dante Alighieri, Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto V

Magnificent gold-plated brass trims further enhance this fountain pen. First, the clip: in addition to its spring-loaded design, it features the brand name, finely laser-engraved. Next, the central ring: beautifully crafted. Finally, a finial at the top of the body and another, with the Visconti logo, at the top of the cap. The limited-edition serial number is engraved on the top of the cap as well.
