Each model
Dante Alighieri, universally recognised as the father of the Italian language, wrote the Divine Comedy between 1300 and 1321, the year of his death. It is the most important literary testimony of medieval civilisation and one of the greatest works of universal literature.
The Divine Comedy recounts an imaginary journey into the three realms of the afterlife - Hell, Purgatory and Paradise - offering an insight into medieval morals and ethics and the worldview developed by the Catholic Church.
Divided into 3 Books, consisting of 33 sections structured in triplets.
Marlen made a collection of 3 pens to celebrate the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri's death.
Paradiso, Purgatorio and Inferno (Heaven, Purgatory and Hell)
The 3 pens have the same shape and structure, but differ in the decoration and materials used.
They are all made of pearly resin and wood; a coin with Dante's portrait is set at the top of the cap.
The clip represents his dagger (the original is kept at the Dante's House Museum).
