About the Michelangelo, Visconti say: ‘it fills the gap in the range of prices between the Rembrandt and the Homo Sapiens. In order to develop this collection we were inspired by the culture of ancient Greece to craft an extremely elegant and classic shape of pen, as difficult to realize, and as much to represent stylographic art. Thanks to our technicians and to a new technology that we just set up, we were able to realize a faceted shape composed by 36 sides (within the cap and the barrel), tapered on the two extremities.’

Michelangelo is probably the first pen realized with 36 facets, an extraordinary achievement of design that makes it looks like more as a diamond than to a writing object: such as with this fountain pen, the value of a diamond, after the weighing in carats, is in fact due to the quality cut and the number of faces. Just rotate the Visconti Michelangelo in your hands to realize it, and to appreciate the similarity.

Made in Florence Palazzo, Visconti make distinguished and luxurious pens. Founded in 1988, the company is led by Dante Del Vecchio. Located in the luxury and super luxury market, their pens range in price from £100 to - well, how much would you like to pay? They’ll always embellish an already fine pen with precious materials, jewels and exquisite craftsmanship. Whatever the price, you will get a beautiful pen made with the best materials and designed with imagination. Over the years they have come up with many innovative approaches to pen manufacture, as well as nods to the golden age of fountain pens – including a continued use of celluloid – “The pen makers gold”.
