collection 2011
Here the incessant love for culture and the passion for innovation, together with the rediscovering of
handicraft and the development of always new and more sophisticated writing systems melt with the
unforgettable coloured shapes, design and naturalness of Visconti items making them inimitable. All these features are
at the basis of the concept for the creation of always new and striking writing instruments for their contents, technological
innovation and forms.
Every pen tells a story: of art, archaeology, philosophy, mathematics, literature, ancient and contemporary history and not only. Visconti
gives always a tribute to the signs of human culture. According to this concept pens cease to be a simple writing instrument to become canvases
on which new artistic expressions are painted and new deep emotions are communicated.
Celluloid, the material considered the gold of writing instrument world, is the main feature of the collections by Visconti that employs also alternative
materials like ancient ivory, ebonite, lucite; all acrylic or high-tech ones like titanium and carbon fi bre together with the most precious metals according
to the classical Florentine tradition, as gold, silver and fi ne jewellery materials.
For over twenty years the name ‘Visconti’ has been synonymous of extraordinarily elegant writing instruments coming from very
intense historical and technological researches. Th roughout its entire range of fountain pens, rollers and ball-pens
Visconti off ers a broad assortment of high quality items all showing strong characters and features.
Th e director of this Florentine company founded in 1988 is Dante Del Vecchio,
deus ex machina of strong creative dynamism,the same feature that we
can fi nd in Visconti’s creations. His personal passion for historical
fountain pens is at the basis of his endless search for always new expressions in writing
instruments art.
Visconti has acted on several occasions as
offi cial sponsor of signifi cant and highly cultural events of
international fame. Th e fi rst of these, according to its historical importance,
signing the end of the Cold War, was the Treaty NATO-Russia in May 28, 2002.
On that occasion Visconti fountain pens have been selected for their unquestionable
character and their appeal in order to offi cially sign this historical agreement. Th e most recent
of these was the G8 Summit in L’ Aquila. On the occasion the fountain pen was selected by the
Italian government as complementary gift to the participating prime-ministers and heads-of-state.
Ogni penna parla di arte, archeologia, fi losofi a, matematica, letteratura, storia o attualità e non solo. Visconti rende sempre omaggio a quello che ha lasciato il segno nella cultura dell’uomo.
La penna cessa di essere un mero strumento di scrittura e diventa la tela su cui dipingere nuove espressioni artistiche, per comunicare nuove profonde emozioni.
La celluloide, il materiale considerato oro per gli intenditori di penne, contraddistingue la collezione Visconti, oltre ad una estesa gamma di materiali alternativi quali l’avorio antico, l’ebanite, la lucite e i materiali acrilici, nonché i materiali altamente tecnologici come il titanio e la fi bra di carbonio ai quali vengono applicati, secondo la più classica tradizione fi orentina, oro, argento e materiali di alta gioielleria.
Visconti è, ed è stata sponsor uffi ciale di eventi signifi cativi e culturali di alta risonanza
internazionale. Primo tra tutti, per la sua importanza storica, il trattato Nato-Russia del 28 maggio 2002, che ha
segnato la fi ne della guerra fredda. Le stilografi che Visconti sono state selezionate per il loro carattere indiscusso e il loro carisma,
per sancire questo accordo storico. Recentemente ha affi ancato molti degli eventi prestigiosi in Italia e all’Estero, ultimo tra i
quali il G8 de L’Aquila. Anche in questa occasione la penna, rigorosamente stilografi ca, è stata scelta dal Governo
Italiano come omaggio ai Capi di Stato e di Governo e personalizzata per l’evento.
Il nome Visconti è da vent’anni sinonimo di strumenti per la scrittura di straordinaria ricercatezza storica e tecnologica.
Stilografi che, penne a sfera e roller: Visconti off re una vasta gamma di articoli di alta qualità e dalla forte personalità.
Fondata nel 1988, l’azienda fi orentina è guidata daDante Del Vecchio, deus ex machina del dinamismo creativo
che pervade le creazioni Visconti. La sua personale passione per le penne d’epoca ha generato il desiderio di nuove espressioni dell’arte
della scrittura. Amore per la cultura e passione per l’innovazione, riscoperta delle lavorazioni artigianali e sviluppo di sistemi sempre più
sofi sticati si fondono con impasti di colore indimenticabili, di design e naturalezza che rendono le penne Visconti inconfondibili.

Visconti Divine Proportion, patented in 2006, is the most innovative
pen design since...ever! Designed following the golden rule, 0.618 is the proportion of the
cap and the body. At the same time the golden spiral gently wraps a 5 sided pentacle pen. Th e
trims of this pen are a masterpiece of craftsmanship.Visconti Hook Safe Lock, patented in the same year,
is the most revolutionary system to lock the pen in the cap, because it’s totally prevents the accidental unscrew
of the pen while in the pocket.Visconti magnetic lock, patent pending, is an effi cient,
easy to use and innovative system to safely lock the pen in the cap. Avoids that after some time of use, your cap lock gets
loose being not able to hold safely the pen in the pocket.In 2010 Visconti introduces the fi rst ever made 23kt. 950
Palladium Dreamtouch nib. Dreamtouch is the term we coined to defi ne a nib that requires no pressure whatsoever in order to write,
it traces in a gentle way thoughts and words for a dream handwriting.In this vision Visconti patents are our testimonials.
Il calamaio da viaggio universale
Visconti, brevettato nel 1997, permette un facile riempimento di tutte le stilografi ca nel mercato. Può essere facilmente portato in borsa ed utilizzato all’occorrenza.Il power fi ller a doppio serbatoio, brevettato nel 1998, è il sistema più avanzato di riempimento mai prodotto nella storia delle penne stilografi che. Permette di riempire una stilografi ca con una quantità di inchiostro equivalente a dieci cartucce e allo stesso tempo, grazie ai due serbatoi, è l’unica penna che si può trasportare in aereo in assoluta sicurezza.La clip Visconti, brevettata nel 2003, ha la funzione di agganciare la penna alla tasca senza danneggiare il tessuto e di comunicare il brand attraverso il nome Visconti smaltato su ogni lato della clip. La sua forma a ponte vuole rappresentare un messaggio positivo di amicizia e di unione tra i popoli.La Quadratura del Cerchio, brevettata nel 2004, il design è stato ispirato dall’uomo
vitruviano di Da Vinci.
La forma della penna è la fusione di
un cerchio con un quadrato: la penna è ergonomicamente perfetta, usandola le dita non
riescono a percepire il passaggio tra le facce piane e gli angoli arrotondati, inoltre la forma ha il vantaggio di
rimanere ferma una volta appoggiata sul tavolo.Visconti My Pen System, brevettato nello stesso anno, è il più semplice ed ingegnoso sistema di personalizzare magneticamente la
penna con le iniziali del nome, con i segni zodiacali e pietre preziose.Visconti Divina Proporzione, brevettata nel 2006, rappresenta
il modello più innovativo di penna mai realizzata! Progettata seguendo la regola della comparazione
aurea, il numero 0,618 stabilisce la perfetta proporzione tra il cappuccio e il fusto.
Al tempo stesso una spirale dorata avvolge
delicatamente i cinque lati della penna. La forma e le proporzioni di questa stilografi ca rappresentano un capolavoro di artigianato.
Visconti Hook Safe Lock, brevettato nello stesso anno, è un sistema facile che previene le aperture accidentali del cappuccio della penna.
La chiusura magnetica, in attesa di brevetto, è anch’esso un effi ciente e innovativo sistema per aprire e chiudere il cappuccio
anche con una sola mano.In 2010 Visconti presenta il primo pennino al mondo
realizzato in Palladio 950, 23 Kt. Dreamtouch è il termine per defi nire un pennino che non necessita
pressione per scrivere, ma traccia con dolcezza pensieri e parole per una scrittura da sogno.
I brevetti Visconti sono i nostri testimonials migliori.
Il nome Visconti è sinonimo di strumenti per la scrittura di straordinaria ricercatezza storica e tecnologica. Attraverso la sua vasta gamma di penne
stilografi che, roller e a sfera Visconti off re articoli di alta qualità e dalla forte personalità. I valori del brand Visconti sono passione, arte e tecnologia; passione
intesa come una profonda conoscenza e un amore incondizionato per la penna, che va oltre il business; abilità nel creare e fare percepire lo strumento di scrittura come
un mezzo di elevazione culturale. La penna cessa di essere un mero strumento di scrittura e diventa la tela su cui dipingere nuove espressioni artistiche, per comunicare
nuove profonde emozioni.
Tecnologia si identifi ca con invenzione, novità e brevetti; capacità di innovare è il coraggio di cercare soluzioni alternative di grande maestria per ogni piccolo dettaglio
che rende il prodotto prezioso e di alta qualità.Non c’è un singolo componente della penna che non sia stato riprogettato
da Visconti, attualmente l’azienda più creativa sul mercato internazionale,capace di migliorare sempre ogni singolo particolare.
to the stillness, it is the courage to try and return into the game, but also to know how to manufacture a
truly valuable high quality product.
Th ere is not a single component of the pen that was not innovated from Visconti.
Visconti is widely the most creative pen company and was able to improve a number of details in writing instruments.
Visconti Travelling Ink Well, patented in 1997, allows an easy fi lling of nearly any fountain pen of the market. It can be easily
carried in any pen holder.Visconti Double Reservoir Power Filler, patented in 1998, is the
most advanced fi lling system ever made in all fountain pen history. It allows to fi ll a fountain pen with the greatest amount of ink ever seen,
up to the equivalent of ten cartridges, and at the same time thanks to the two reservoirs, is the only pen totally safe in air freight.
Visconti clip, patented in 2003, has the function to hook the pen to the pocket without damaging the tissue and to communicate the brand with the
Visconti name enamelled on the side. It represent a bridge that is a positive message of international friendship and diplomacy.
Visconti Squaring the Circle, patented in 2004, the design was inspired from the Da Vinci Vitruvian man. Th e shape of the pen is the fusion of a circle and a square
with two results: fi rst, the pen is ergonomically perfect because the fi nger feels mostly the round corners, second the pen do not rolls when sits in the table.
Visconti My Pen System, patented in the same year, is the most simple and ingenious system to customize the pen with the initials, with the oroscope, with many stones.
Th e name Visconti has been synonymous of extraordinarily elegant writing instruments coming from very intense historical and
technological researches. Th roughout its entire range of fountain pens, rollers and ball-pens Visconti off ers a broad assortment of
high quality items all showing strong characters and features.Visconti brand values are passion, art and technology;
passion is the deep knowledge of the pen, a love that goes beyond the wall of business. It is the ability to create, judge and live the handwriting as living part of the
human being, a prerogative just as reading and a means of cultural elevation. Art because for
Visconti the pen ceases to be a simple writing instrument in order to become emotion,
just as the canvas ceases to be simple material by turning into painting. Art is when the pen becomes capable of
narrating the story just like the shooting machine for a fi lm director. Technology is the
invention, the novelty, the patent. It is the ability to innovate
and change as opposed
