Throughout history, Europeans have always been “united but divided”, continuously competing against each other, while searching for their common roots and goals. Although they have recently celebrated the European Constitution, Europeans tend to always need myths to bind themselves together. Visconti has considered why European towns are so similar to each other, so often placed on hills, with winding small roads, and why the same religious symbols, churches and cathedrals, represent a common thread of the “European” lifestyle. All European forms of art that developed between 1000 AD and the late 12th century belong to the “Romanic” tradition, due to the significant presence of Roman factors. In homage to this era’s architectural elements, Visconti has adapted to these exquisite writing instruments, through chiselled engraving, the beauty of the arches, bricks and windows so prevalent then. As the Romanic era was the precursor to the Renaissance, Visconti hopes for this pen to witness a new beginning for Europe.
