Visconti – Said Fabbrica del Cioccolato LE#023/100

Description

There are places in Rome where I pass a thousand times and yet it is as if I did not see them. This happened with an old artisan factory opened in Rome in 1923, in that popular and student San Lorenzo which is still – despite fortunately never taken off attempts – one of the truest neighbourhoods of the city and which is hidden in its streets. marble workers, glassmakers, small art galleries, student-friendly libraries. In this environment, the reality of SAID, an artisan company that is also synonymous with lively chocolate in Rome since 1923, is established.

Visconti’s story is based on reviving and promoting the Florentine artisan tradition, on keeping a cultural memory alive while finding the best manufacturing techniques through ongoing research. These values are also crucial for the creation of fountain pens. These writing instrument jewels exist thanks to decades of expertise in the most sophisticated of Italian craftsmanship. For each one of its pens, Visconti produces the feed, and the true heart of the fountain pen, the nib.
