Visconti
Visconti
After years of experience in the making of celluloid, Visconti is the widest celluloid pen factory worldwide and offers its service and experience to anybody who wishes to produce pens with this material. Always sensitive to market demands Visconti extended its experience to other materials like ebonite, acrylics, lucite, bakelite and ivory.
In 1988, after several years of experience in the world of fountain pens and extensive knowledge of strategic key markets, Dante Del Vecchio and Luigi Poli, themselves collectors of fountain pens for many years, decide to set up a company to produce and market celluloid fountain pens.
Although this material had been abandoned by the established brands, it continued to be in demand by those collectors who " just couldn't forget".
Celluloid is an environmentally friendly and modern material which, unlike plastics, does not derive from petroleum products, but from cellulose and camphor worked with alcohol.
Visconti has also become a master goldsmith. Using this florentine tradition, Visconti extended its range and know-how to solid silver, solid gold and precious jewellery.
