The Visconti Medici collection pays tribute to this significant dynasty in the spirit of artistic excellence and elegance. The Medicis, rulers of Florence, were influential patrons of the arts, fostering a culture of creativity and innovation during the Renaissance.
The pen is crafted in Heather Wood Acrosilk, an innovative material first introduced by Visconti, which consists of a combination of resin and silk fiber. Additionally, in this model, a central ring is introduced, created using the skeleton technique, featuring the official emblem of Florence, the lily. This symbol, found on the city's coat of arms, represents beauty, nobility, and pride. Both the ring and the metallic trims are made of ruthenium.
I found Iguana really friendly, helpful and efficient to both buy the pen and when I had a query - very quick to respond. The pen is gorgeous and I’m now using it every day.
