Visconti Homo Sapiens Iris Garden Limited Edition - Rollerball
Visconti is proud to announce the new Homo Sapiens Iris Garden inspired by the Iris Garden of Florence, Italy. This pen is a tribute to the beauty and elegance of the irises that bloom between the end of April and the end of May in the historic Florentine garden, which is located near the Piazzale Michelangelo and offers a stunning view of the city.
The history of the so-called “lily” of Florence is controversial. It seems that it originated from a white iris, the Iris Florentina, which are abundantly in the Arno Valley during the Florentine Republic and which the people called “ghiacciolo” or icicle, for its white, slightly bluish color.
The iris is not only a symbol of Florence, but also of its rich history and culture. The lily was adopted as the emblem of the city in the 11th century, when it was used to decorate the banners and shields of the Florentine soldiers. The lily also represents wisdom, courage, and faith; qualities that have characterized Florence throughout the centuries.
Like previous limited collections in the Homo Sapiens series, Iris Garden is made from special semi-transparent demo resigns carefully selected by Visconti’s designers. The highlight of the collection, however, is definitely the rose gold trims that perfectly match the bespoke resin and a add a touch of light and preciousness to the design.
The homo Sapiens Irish garden is a limited edition, with only 388 pieces being made available worldwide. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of art inspired by one of the most enchanting gardens in the world.
“In the spring of her childhood, Anselm roamed the green garden. Among the flowers of his mother, there was one called iris that he particularly liked. He pressed his cheek top the long light green leaves, he passed his fingers on the sharp edges, he sucked deeply the scent of the splendid corollas, he looked inside.”
