Visconti – Il Magnifico Calacatta Gold (LTD)
”The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has” – Michelangelo Buonarotti
Introducing the Seventh Edition of Visconti’s esteemed Il Magnifico collection, featuring the exquisite blend of white and gold tones inspired by the renowned Italian Calacatta Macchia Oro marble. This limited edition comprises 188 fountain pens available worldwide.
Dedicated to Lorenzo de Medici, the Il Magnifico collection pays homage to the influential patron of Renaissance culture in Italy. During his rule over the Florentine Republic, Lorenzo sponsored legendary artists like Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo, fostering a flourishing era of artistic and scientific exploration.
The latest addition to this esteemed collection, the Calacatta Gold edition, showcases the rare and opulent white Carrara marble adorned with golden veins, sourced from the Apuan Alps. Historically reserved for prestigious projects and masterpieces by luminaries such as Michelangelo and Donatello, Calacatta marble epitomizes luxury, elegance, and refinement.
Crafted from fine Carrara Marble, yellow gold, and brass, the fountain pen embodies the culmination of meticulous craftsmanship and research. The marble barrel is accentuated by an intricately engraved blind cap adorned with iconic symbols from Florentine tradition, including the renowned Florentine Lily.
Continuing the theme of opulence, the cap features matching decorations and a white enamel clip. All metal trims are meticulously crafted from yellow gold-plated brass, seamlessly harmonizing with the warm golden hues of the marble.
Completing this masterpiece is the exquisite 18-karat solid gold Visconti nib, finished with the same luxurious yellow gold, offering a flawless writing experience worthy of its prestigious lineage.
Generous ink capacity is available with the Visconti patented vacuum Power Filler. This filling system is made entirely from titanium resisting ink corrosion. The weight of this pen is considerable higher because of the nature of the materials used. This pen can’t be accidentally uncapped , it features the Hook Safe Lock trademark capping mechanism.
