Visconti Medici Fountain Pen - Riccardi (Limited Edition)
Visconti is thrilled to announce their latest US exclusive, a stunning collection inspired by the legendary Medici family of Florence.
This limited edition Visconti Palazzo collection seamlessly blends Renaissance elegance with Visconti's modern craftsmanship, celebrating the family's renowned estates in Florence, the Palazzo's Pitti, Riccardi and Vecchio. These grand estates symbolized the family's shift from humble merchants to political giants.
The Medici family's estates in Florence each symbolize a stage in their rise to power. These incredible structures signified Medici dominance over both Florence and their competitors. The palaces were filled with art from the greatest Renaissance masters, showcasing the family's wealth.
Featuring a stunning Jonathan Brooks resin with the classic Visconti Medici body design, this collection comes exclusively as a fountain pen and is equipped with Visconti's iconic Power Filler Double Reservoir system.
Inspired by the geometry of the Florence Baptistry, the pen's shape was designed following the principles of the golden ratio. The Medici Palazzo is accented by the beautiful demonstrator central ring, made with the skeletonization technique, featuring the official emblem of Florence, the lily. This symbol, found on the city's coat of arms, represents beauty, nobility and pride.
The cap is equipped with Visconti's famous hook safe lock system, ensuring an even more secure and solid seal. Each pen features a beautiful 18kt gold nib with a finish that matches the color of the pen's trim, and a matching enameled clip.
This elegant new collection is offered in three colorways and is limited to 70 pieces in each color, available exclusively to US retailers only.
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same.
