Comedia
Our Comedìa is yet another act of Visconti’s love for the city of Florence, cradle of the Italian Renaissance and embodiment of the craftsmanship that defines our creations. Meticulous attention to detail and a love of art and human culture are values that Visconti has always been committed to, embodying them in the development of this collection.
“Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.”
Dante Alighieri
THE "COMEDIA"
Dante Alighieri was born in 1265 in Florence and is considered to be the greatest Italian poet who has ever lived. He is also known as the father of the Italian language as we know it. His most important work “Comedìa”, later know as the Divine Comedy, (Divina Commedia), is a masterpiece of world literature that explores the afterlife through three realms: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. Each realm is depicted with vivid imagery and symbolism, reflecting Dante’s moral and spiritual vision of life. Inspired by this epic poem, Visconti has created a new collection that captures the essence of each realm in its design and craftsmanship.
A JOURNEY ALONG THREE CANTICA
To reflect the literary pattern of the Divine Comedy, which is divided into three cantica (books), the collection is composed of three different models: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. Each model has been conceived with resins and trims designed to best express the imagery of each cantica: black and red with ruthenium finishes for Inferno, taupe and gray with palladium finishes for Purgatorio, and white and light blue with yellow gold finishes for Paradiso.
The three models are brought together by a special central ring characterized by two bands covered with a hammered texture – a detail also found in the special metal section of the pens. Each central ring is then individually engraved by our craftsmen with the inscription “COMEDIA” followed by the name of the specific model.
