Visconti galileo galilei le fountain pen

The Visconti Galileo Galilei LE fountain pen celebrates the life and legacy of one of the world's most influential scientists and intellectuals. Born in Pisa, Tuscany, on February 15, 1564, Galileo Galilei was a pioneer of scientific research, an astronomer, inventor, philosopher and writer. He made major contributions to the scientific method, improved optical technology for telescopes, and discovered many celestial objects, including the four largest moons of Jupiter, which he named after the Medici family of Florence..

The body of the Visconti Galileo Galilei LE fountain pen is made of aged Vermeil and demo resin, revealing the ink level and the unique filling system for this collection. A tribute to Galileo's engineering genius, this system is similar to our Power Filler Double Reservoir, but without an external piston in the blind cap. This makes refills safer, cleaner and more consistent with the design of the pen.

Demo resin is a recurring element of the Visconti Galileo Galilei LE fountain pen, which is also reflected in the section and in the cap, giving you a view of the 18kt gold palladium plated nib. The decorative elements of the Visconti Galileo Galilei recall the Baroque craftsmanship of Galileo's time. Particularly thanks to the different materials used, antique vermeil and polished palladium, a subtle chiaroscuro effect is achieved. The fine engravings of the demo moon phases and Florentine lilies further enhance this stunning design.

Not only is the Visconti Galileo Galilei fountain pen itself a masterpiece of technical craftsmanship, but the accompanying desk set is just as exceptional. The set comes with a wooden box that reveals a unique stand for the fountain pen, which resembles a telescope pointing towards the sky. The stand is modeled after the astrolabes used by Galileo, with a globe of the Earth surrounding a golden sun. Open the box and discover the universe at your fingertips. The amazing starry sky on the back wall of the box is illuminated by a rechargeable LED light strip that reflects off a series of mirrors. This is Visconti's unique tribute to Galileo's contributions and innovations in astronomy and optics.

The Visconti Galileo Galilei LE fountain pen is limited to only 188 pieces worldwide.

For twenty years, the name Visconti has been a synonym for writing instruments of extraordinary beauty, historically and technologically studied. Visconti fountain pens, rollerballs and ballpoint pens represent a wide range of high-quality instruments with strong identification.
