Visconti is an Italian manufacturing company of luxury goods, founded in 1988 in Florence by Dante Del Vecchio and Luigi Poli, who were collectors of fountain pens. The company is noted for its use of celluloid in the making of its pens, adding details in ivory, titanium, gold, diamond, ebonite, and acrylic fiber.
Visconti's handmade fountain pens have been recognised for their quality and fine craft.[1] Its line of products has changed over time, with several collections released since the company's inception.[2]
