BLACK OPERA

The quadrature of the circle, according to Visconti

Since ancient times, one of the classical problems of geometry without doubt has been that of the quadrature of the circle, that expresses the two creating and conservative laws of the universe: movement (the circle, symbol of the Sky and of the cyclic movements) and stability (the square, symbol of the earth and of the created universe).
Sky, earth, movement, stability and perfection are universal symbols, which belong to all the cultures of the planet, and as such make the Opera an universal pen that reflects in its particular shape its core design.

In fact the Opera is not round as is any other pen, and it's not square, which would make it un-ergonomic, and it's not octagonal either.
It is simply unique.
The perfect proportion of the volumes of the cap and body, the elegant shape of the clip, and the clip's perfect mechanism complete this tri-dimensional masterpiece.

It's made in black resin, line-drawing engraved with Guilloché technique, available as fountain pen, capped roller and ballpen.
Rhodiated trims, cartridge/converter filling system, large "dreamtouch" 23Kt palladium nib: F, M, B

All the Opera pens can be personalized with initials on the cap top, with magnetic initials of Visconti's My Pen System.
Personalization is reversible because we'll send you also the original Visconti top disc for future substitution.
