In the difficult and fascinating luxury industry, Tuscany shines - and Florence is its brightest star thanks to the high quality handmade materials that recollect a rich craftsmanship tradition.
One of the companies that has distinguished itself in this realm is Visconti, producer of fine fountain pens.
They have 30 stores in Italy.
The company presented a new blue and silver resin pen at the Rome Luxury Fair the new model brings together the design that has defined the line since the beginning in 1988.
The search for innovative material has always been one of Visconti's objectives, who has concentrated on using materials that have almost disappeared from the market, like celluloid.
An example is one of their latest creations ''Divina Proporzione'', a celluloid pen with gold and silver contouring, with a dual coloured 18 karat gold nib, and an ink loading system that disappears into the body of the pen.
The Visconti brand is ideal for fountain pen aficionados and professionals who understand the distinction and prestige it carries.
