For the one whose words are as stable as their writing

Visconti writing instruments are famous and they depict the aesthetics of Italy. They produce high quality handcrafted writing instruments which are known for their beauty, durability, reputation and long lasting good will. The company was started in 1988 in Florence, Italy. Visconti has the reputation of bringing back the making of celluloid pens after decades of void period. As celluloid was rare to get, celluloid pen had literally vanished from the market for decades and decades. Visconti was the first company to reintroduce celluloid pens and create a market for them. This step still stands as an example of daring market strategy that is still being followed by Visconti.
