The Caronte embodies this energy through a striking dark gray-blue coloration, evoking the turbulent waters of the infernal river. Dark ruthenium finishes enhance its shadowy aura. Also in this case, Caronte’s name is engraved and enameled on the central ring, just as the cap’s finial is also finely engraved and enameled. Both Virgilio and Caronte pens are available in fountain pen, rollerball, and ballpoint versions, each strictly limited to 999 pieces. This number—rooted in the numerical structures of Dante’s poetry—echoes the divine perfection and mystical significance of the numbers three and nine throughout the Divine Comedy. With this new limited edition, Visconti continues to honor the literary and artistic heritage of Italy, transforming symbols of human nature into masterful writing instruments. Virgilio and Caronte are not just pens—they are storytellers, carrying forth the legacy of Dante’s masterpiece in every stroke of ink, inviting us to embark on a timeless journey through the power of the written word.
