Until availability
1996 - 2016. Giardino Italiano has been selling pens online for 20 years.
For celebrating this important anniversary (we have been the first in the world to sell fountain pens online in 1996), Visconti produced this small masterpiece, exclusively for us: Giardino dell’Eden.
100 pieces (in total among fountain pens and rollerballs) in black resin, slightly enlighted by pearly grey-cloud shades, and 100 pieces in a special petrol blue, bright and almost sparkling.
Cap and barrel are decorated with the precious Scrimshaw technique.

consisting of cutting resin with a very sharp tool
thus creating a decorative pattern.
The images are then filled in with printing ink,
in this case a silver colour,
and left to dry dry for at least three days.
At the end of the process,
the surface is finely smoothed
until the design appears.
In ancient times, scrimshaw was used to decorate
ivory handles, such as on walking sticks,
collection knife handles and rifle stocks.
At this moment, Visconti is the only company in the world
to use this technique for its production.
The silver pattern that decorates the pen is inspired to Klimt's style in his Tree of life.
It represents a tree - an apple tree, of course - that winds around the pen's barrel and reaches out to the cap, with a motif of tangled branches that grow with curls, spirals, leavees and apples; like a precious embroidery that lighten the pen's sobriety.
The palladiun central band is engraved with the Giardino Italiano's logo, the anniversary's dates (1996-2016) and the endings of the curls that compose the main decoration.
Each pen is individually numbered.
Its nib is the classic small Visconti steel nib, available in the classic grades (Fine, Medium, and Broad) but also in the firm Stub nib.
Cartridge/converter filling system. Converter included.
Palladium trims.
The cap is closed by magnets.
Classic Visconti clip, bridge shaped, with Visconti logo over black enamel.
The box is personalized by the Giardino's logo and the pen's name.
The entire collection can be personalized using the well-known Visconti patent - My Pen System - with the instant application of the initials or the semi-precious stone preferred by the fortunate future owner.
