AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the death of Luigi Vanvitelli (Naples, 1700 – Caserta, 1773), Marlen presents this new creation: a limited-edition pen paying tribute to one of the greatest Italian architects of all time. Throughout the 18th century, Vanvitelli played a leading role in the transition from Rococo to Neoclassicism, creating works that today shape the urban landscapes of several Italian cities.
These exclusive pens were created in collaboration with the Department of Political Sciences at the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, once again underscoring the great importance attached to culture and art. The collection was produced with great care and attention to detail to honor Vanvitelli’s legacy and celebrate his contribution to the world of architecture. Only 773 fountain pens and 700 rollerball pens were made, making this a true work of art for collectors. The pens have been carefully designed to offer a refined, sophisticated look. The fine Italian resin used gives them a luxurious feel and exceptional durability. Each pen is enhanced with silver details: the large silver band on the barrel reproduces part of the façade of the Royal Palace of Caserta, adding a touch of grandeur and evoking the art and beauty of Italian architecture, while the original sketches of the Royal Palace of Caserta’s floor plan offer a tangible tribute to Vanvitelli’s creative genius. On the cap, the silver ring is modeled on the Carolino Aqueduct, another of Vanvitelli’s masterpieces, which supplied water to both the San Leucio complex and the Royal Palace itself. The pen’s clip was designed to reproduce the distinctive decorative feature of Luigi Vanvitelli’s architectural style: the shell. This unique detail adds a touch of elegance and refinement to the pen and pays tribute to Vanvitelli’s artistic mastery. Each pen comes with a book edited by Giuseppe Cirillo, Professor of Modern History at the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, and a certificate of authenticity confirming its exclusivity and serial number. This limited-edition collection celebrates the 250th anniversary of Luigi Vanvitelli’s death and the enduring legacy he left in the field of architecture—a piece of Italian history and art.
