Florence, Dante and Visconti
Visconti was founded in Florence, the city of Dante Alighieri, so it is fitting that its Comedia series celebrates the Divine Comedy. After Virgil and Charon, the third edition honours Paolo and Francesca, the doomed lovers whose story is one of the most moving passages in the Inferno.
A design full of meaning
Red for passion, blue for eternity: the two colours blend into violet across the barrel, while white streaks add light and movement. The names of the two lovers are engraved and enamelled on the central ring, and the ballpoint carries a fixed purple enamelled coin.
Made to be used
The twist mechanism is simple and quiet, with no cap to misplace. Visconti's 1.0mm ballpoint refill writes smoothly and lasts a long time, making this an everyday luxury rather than a pen to leave in a drawer.

- Each pen is individually numbered on the back of the clip
