Visconti presents a new collection with a "divine" look: Apollo, Zeus and Aphrodite are the protagonists of Mirage Mythos. Greek mythology teaches that the gods of Olympus are immortal beings, who govern the life and death of human beings. These three characters represent for Visconti three different supernatural forces from which to draw inspiration. Apollo is the god of the arts, music, poetry and science. He is the son of Zeus and the symbols that identify him are, among others, the sun, the lyre, the bow and arrows.
Zeus is the king of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus, god of the sky, lightning and atmospheric phenomena. The thunderbolt represents his symbol par excellence. Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. Daughter of Zeus, her most recognizable symbols are the dove and the sparrow. Three new colors shaded with gold dust, each corresponding to a divinity: brown for Apollo, blue for Zeus and purple for Aphrodite. It is an unprecedented Mirage, with some novelties that distinguish it at first glance from the basic model, such as the large steel nib (yellow gold plated), the central part in brass instead of resin, but above all the central ring, on which is engraved with the inscription MYTHOS and the V, similar to the stylized Mount Olympus.
Revised Review of Visconti Mirage Myth Aphrodite Fountain Pen
I would like to revise my initial view of the Visconti Mirage fountain pen - compared to my other pens it does feel lighter but having used it more and on better quality paper (!), I am adjusting to it and beginning to enjoy it without comparing it to other pens I own. It is a beautiful pen to look at and the writing experience is very smooth and easy. I think the paper I initially used was a little on the porous side which gave the impression of the nib writing more like a medium nib - on good quality paper it is ‘fine’.
