For over twenty years the name ‘Visconti’ has been synonymous
of extraordinarily elegant writing instruments coming from very
intense historical and technological researches. Throughout
its entire range of fountain pens, rollers and ball-pens
Visconti offers a broad assortment of high quality items
all showing strong characters and features.

founded in 1988 is Dante Del Vecchio,

instruments art.
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 fibre together with the most precious metals according
to the classical Florentine tradition, as gold, silver and fine jewellery materials.
Visconti has acted
on several occasions as
official sponsor of significant
and highly cultural events of
international fame. The first 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 officially
sign this historical agreement. The 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.
Il nome Visconti è da vent’anni sinonimo di strumenti per
la scrittura di straordinaria ricercatezza storica e tecnologica.
Stilografiche, penne a sfera e roller: Visconti offre una vasta
gamma di articoli di alta qualità e dalla forte personalità.
Fondata nel 1988, l’azienda fiorentina è guidata da
Dante 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
sofisticati si fondono con impasti di colore indimenticabili, di design e
naturalezza che rendono le penne Visconti inconfondibili.
Ogni penna parla di
arte, archeologia, filosofia,
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 fibra di
carbonio ai quali vengono
applicati, secondo la
più classica tradizione
fiorentina, oro, argento e
materiali di alta gioielleria.
Visconti è, ed è stata sponsor ufficiale
di eventi significativi 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 fine della guerra fredda. Le stilografiche Visconti sono
state selezionate per il loro carattere indiscusso e il loro carisma,
per sancire questo accordo storico. Recentemente ha affiancato
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 stilografica, è stata scelta dal Governo
Italiano come omaggio ai Capi di Stato e di
Governo e personalizzata per l’evento.

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. The
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 efficient,
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 first ever made 23kt. 950
Palladium Dreamtouch nib. Dreamtouch is the term we coined to
define 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 nome Visconti è sinonimo di strumenti per la scrittura di straordinaria
ricercatezza storica e tecnologica. Attraverso la sua vasta gamma di penne
stilografiche, roller e a sfera Visconti offre 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 identifica 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.
Il calamaio da

1997, permette un facile

utilizzato all’occorrenza.
Il power filler a doppio
serbatoio, brevettato nel
1998, è il sistema più
avanzato di riempimento
mai prodotto nella storia
delle penne stilografiche.
Permette di riempire
una stilografica 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 stilografica 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
efficiente 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 definire un pennino che non necessita
pressione per scrivere, ma traccia con dolcezza
pensieri e parole per una scrittura da sogno.

Visconti Travelling Ink Well, patented in 1997, allows an easy
filling 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 filling system ever made in all fountain pen history. It
allows to fill 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. The shape of the pen is the fusion of a circle and a square
with two results: first, the pen is ergonomically perfect because the finger 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.
