COMÈDIA
The Comedìa collection is Visconti’s latest tribute to the city of Florence, the cradle of the Italian Renaissance and a symbol of the craftsmanship that distinguishes our creations. Meticulous attention to detail and a love for art and human culture are values that Visconti has always pursued, embodied in the development of this collection.
“In the middle of the journey of our life I found myself in a dark wood because the straight path had been lost.”
Dante Alighieri

THE “COMÈDIA”
Dante Alighieri, born in Florence in 1265, is universally considered the greatest Italian poet who ever lived, as well as the father of the Italian language as we know it today.
His most important work, the “Comedìa”, later known as the Divine Comedy, is a masterpiece of world literature that explores the afterlife by traversing Three otherworldly Realms: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso.
Each Realm is represented with vivid and allegorical images that reflect Dante’s moral and spiritual vision.
Inspired by this poem, Visconti designers created a new collection that captures the essence of each Realm.

A JOURNEY THROUGH THREE CANTICLES
To reflect the literary structure of the Divine Comedy, divided into three canticles, the collection is composed of three different models: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. Each model was designed with resins and metal parts intended to best express the imagery of each canticle: black and red with ruthenium finishes for Inferno, taupe and grey with palladium finishes for Purgatorio, and white and light blue with yellow gold finishes for Paradiso.
The three models are united by a special band featuring two strips covered in a hammered texture – a detail that is also found in the special metal section of the pens. Each band is then individually engraved by our artisans with the word “Comedìa” followed by the name of the specific model.
