Visconti was founded in Florence, Italy in 1988 with the intention of introducing exquisite, hand-crafted writing instruments made in the tradition of “old world” artisans. Just as Ragtime music set the stage, in the beginning of the 20th century, for Jazz and its offshoots, so did Visconti’s earlier Ragtime collection set the tone for Visconti’s many popular collections that would follow. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Visconti has now updated the original Ragtime styling in an elegant, handcrafted limited edition. The best techniques in pen making have been used to create this executive handcrafted masterpiece.
