Visconti Comedia Caronte - Ballpoint
Immerse yourself in the world of Dante's Divine Comedy with Visconti's Comedia Virgilio - a writing instrument straight from their journey into immortal masterpieces. This limited edition collection pays homage to timeless figures that have captured the human soul in one of the most influential and widely-recognized works of literature in history. The first two instruments in the series, Virgilio and Caronte, embody the guiding wisdom and inevitable fate of the afterlife. Virgilio, the unwavering guide through Inferno and Purgatorio, is portrayed in a refined ivory acrylic resin with hints of laurel green and fire red, symbolizing wisdom and enlightenment. Adorned with bright yellow gold trims and a signature central ring, this pen embodies the poet's noble spirit. In stark contrast, the Caronte pen evokes the turbulent waters of the infernal river with its striking dark gray-blue coloration and dark ruthenium finishes. These two opposing presentations, offered in representation of the two opposing figures in Dante's allegory, present a delightful contrast to each other and showcase the seemingly bottomless creativity of the Visconti designers and artisans. Both pens are limited to 999 pieces, reflecting the divine perfection and mystical significance of the numbers three and nine throughout the Divine Comedy.
