Visconti produces limited editions with themes that impact, change or describe our lives. His new collection is dedicated to the religions of the world. The first in the series focuses on the Bible, the most widely read and printed book on religions, and the world linked to it: Christianity and Judaism. The large pens are made from ivory-coloured resins using a design technique of whalebone, dry-point engraving and Indian ink filling. The intricate drawings depict scenes from the Old Testament on the barrel: Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, and the Ten Commandments. The Jewish version has a classic, antique look in natural ivory colour and unadorned. The cap depicts a spiritual moment of prayer at the Western Wall. Hidden in the blind cap is an engraving of a temple. Its cover presents the story of Jesus: his birth, baptism, the Last Supper and his Ascension into Heaven. An image of the shutter of the Holy Grail is hidden inside the cover. Both pens have a decagonal crown and end cap, the latter engraved with the Ten Commandments in Hebrew. The pen is fitted with a Visconti two-tone 18-karat gold nib and features a piston-filled shaft. Limited to 999 pens and 199 Rollerballs worldwide.
