Pensinasia - Fine Writing Instruments
Pensinasia is a collection of more than a decade of pens, fine writing instruments, and limited edition collectables. Over the past years, I have painstakingly detailed and photographed each pen I have owned, recording down every minute detail within this website. If you are a pen lover like me, you will find Pensinasia to be your definite source of knowledge to fountain pens.

Visconti Limited Edition Brunelleschi Fountain Pen

Visconti Brunelleschi limited edition pen, made from Cotto Fiorentino Terracotta, pays homage to the great Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi, who designed and engineered the dome of the Florentine cathedral - The Duomo - and is the largest structure in the world made of Cotto Fiorentino Terracotta.

The Brunelleschi limited edition pen is an oversized, eight-sided pen reflecting the shape of the cathedral dome. Weighing roughly 45 grams (the actual Dome is 45 meters wide)  Its shape is in the ideal proportion based on Leonardo da Vinci's Divine Proportion, 

It is made from a Cotto Fiorentino terracotta resin composite, a dark brick color which is similar to the red ebonite. Unlike ebonite, the terracotta compound is extremely stable and does not dull with age and more shock-resistant. The ring on the pen barrel is decorated with an engraving of the Cathedral's windows surrounding the dome. 

The pen features Visconti's 23kt palladium Dreamtouch nib and a high vacuum power filler and the well known Visconti's Hook Safe Lock system. The trimming are made from rose vermeil gold and the Brunelleschi is limited to 388 numbered pieces. Each pen is presented in a collector's set including a glass inkwell with ink, a matching Visconti traveling ink well also made from terracotta, eye dropper and a terracotta tile that says Brunelleschi all packaged in a luxury eco-leather box.
