Two Italian Masters
Visconti pays tribute to the Master; Michelangelo. This pen's unique 18 sided geometry honors Michelangelo's date of passing, 18 February, 1564. This brilliant 'sculpted' design feels nearly round but not quite. It's an interesting concept. The unique barrel and cap are handcrafted in Florence with rich resins in either 'ancient' rose gold and black resin or in the case of the deep blue midnight version, palladium-plated. The central band displays the artist's name and a Renaissance era frieze.
Visconti continues to introduce four writing modes; the traditional roller ball is backed up by the exciting new Eco-Roller designed liquid ink roller ball, a twist action ballpoint and the 14k gold fountain pen. The Eco-Roller fills with cartridges or converter and writes like a fountain pen with the convenience of a capped roller ball. Maybe Michelangelo would appreciate the genius of the Visconti Eco-Roller as much as the homage to this date of passing? We do.
