The Visconti Medici Midi is a sophisticated tribute to the legendary Medici family, whose patronage of the arts fueled the Italian Renaissance. This "Midi" version offers a more versatile, mid-sized profile compared to the oversized "Over" model, making it an ideal choice for a wider range of hand sizes.

The Material: Acryloid

The most striking feature of the Medici is its construction from Acryloid—a high-tech composite of acrylic resin and silk fibers.

• The Aesthetic: This unique material creates a beautiful, shimmering brown-and-gold aesthetic that mimics the look of classic wood or celluloid, echoing the opulent materials found in Renaissance palaces.

• The Shape: The pen features Visconti’s iconic eight-pointed design, inspired by the proportions of the Florence Baptistery. This faceted shape prevents the pen from rolling and provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip.

  
  

   

Signature Visconti Details

• The Clip: Features the famous "Ponte Vecchio" arched clip, laser-engraved with the Visconti name, symbolizing the connection between history and modernity.

• Closing System: Equipped with Visconti’s patented Hook Safe Lock system. This allows you to cap and uncap the pen with a simple quarter-turn, preventing the cap from accidentally unscrewing in your pocket or bag.

  
  

   

• The Nib: Typically fitted with Visconti's premium 23k palladium nib, known for its smoothness and reliable ink flow.

Technical Specifications

• Size: Midi (Mid-size, approximately 135mm capped).

• Filling System: Uses a standard international Cartridge/Converter system, offering ease of use and maintenance.

  
  

   

• Trim: Often accented with palladium-plated or silver-toned trim to provide a cool contrast to the warm brown of the body.

  
  

   

Why Choose the Midi?

While the oversized version of the Medici is a "desk pen" powerhouse, the Midi is designed for the professional on the move. It retains all the luxury and historical significance of the collection but in a more balanced, portable weight that is perfect for daily journaling or office use.
