“The increase of known truths stimulates the investigation, establishment, and growth of the arts”

-Galileo Galilei

Dedicated to one of the world’s most influential Italian scientists and intellectuals, this fountain pen embodies Visconti’s continuous research in the fields of technology and design.

Galileo Galilei, born in Pisa, Tuscany, on February 15th, 1564, was a pioneer of scientific inquiry, an astronomer, inventor, philosopher and writer.

The distinctive feature of the collection is the new Galileo Double Filler filling system, a Visconti exclusive patented filling mode dedicated to the scientist. The Galileo Double Filler, offers the same capacity as the historic Power Filler Double Reservoir patent, but provides an additional cover around the ink tank as well as a double closure system, with both screw and hook safe locks.

This novelty is also reflected in the unique design of the pen, which allows a dual functionality: the double stain-proof ink tank and the hook safe lock opening inspired by the historical Galilean telescopes. All this makes the new limited edition dedicated to Galileo Galilei unique, blending tradition and innovation together.

Not only is the Galileo pen itself a masterpiece of technical craftsmanship, but its desk set is equally exceptional. It comes with a wooden case that reveals a unique stand for the pen, resembling a telescope pointing at the heavens. The stand is modeled after the astrolabes that Galileo used, with a globe of the Earth orbiting a golden Sun. Open the box to discover the universe at your fingertips. The amazing starry night sky illuminated on the back wall of the box is created by a rechargeable led light strip reflecting off of a series of mirrors. This is Visconti’s unique homage to Galileo’s contributions and innovations in astronomy and optics.
