New extraordinary collaboration between D-PARMY and Maurizio Maglio, one of the best-known Naïf painters in Italy. The decoration, handmade by Maglio on each pen, represents a summer hilly landscape. Maglio’s painting tell his childhood memories when he lived in the countryside with his family.His pictures are glimpses of genuine life, of time spent over the running seasons, everything done according to Nature rythm. He describes the habits of peasantry life,

from early morning to night; men and women have strong arms and big hands, work all the day long but eventually find time to dance and take a rest.

It is very silent in his works, in all of them: this silence is not only removal from the modernity noise, but also a restless assertion of the origins of a world heading to the wrong way. Silence and a lot of landscape: a such net landscape as if the earth had been just created and were a place of work and peace, of fairy villages and free from progress. It is there where Maglio dipshis brushes, in a place that does not exist anymore but only in his artisticworld.

He depicts elegant and gently naïf shapes, full of harmony and lightness. A delicate design, a poetic and suspended atmosphere.

Maglio awarded the honorary degree (Laurea Honoris Causa) for the successful disclosure of the Art culture in Italy and abroad by theDioscuri Academy.

The 9 one-of-a-kind pieces, made of Bois de Rose hardwood, with intarsia of Ebony wood, have been manufactured, thanks to the sophisticated crafting techniques of the D-PARMY tradition, to pay tribute to Maglio and the art he represents.

The observer’s glance gets lost among the colors, and the guys happiness reassures and comforts us, despite the precarious equilibrium, enfolding us in a state of full involvement.

The landscape is linear, and the characters “move” inside it.

The 9 one-of-a-kind pieces,made of Bois de Violette hardwood, with intarsia of Bois de Rose wood, have been manufactured, thanks to the sophisticated crafting techniques of the D-PARMYtradition, to pay tribute to Deletre and the art he represents.

Leonardo da Vinci

D-PARMY dedicates its new fountain pen to Leonardo da Vinci with the intent to celebrate one of the greatest and most important geniuses of the Renaissance and the whole mankind.

Da Vinci was born in April 1452 and died in May 1519. In 2019 we celebrate 500 years since his death. DParmy would like to honor him with the creation of a Limited-edition fountain pen of extreme value.

A universally witty and talented man, he fully embodied his ages spirit, bringing it to the main forms of expression in the most diverse fields of art and knowledge. He dealt with architecture and sculpture, he was a draftsman, an essay writer, a scenographer, an anatomist, a designer and an inventor.

At 16 years old he moved to Florence with his father. Florence was in that period one of the most lively cultural centers in Europe. Here artists, philosophers and scholars come from all over Italy. The active and dynamic atmosphere fostered exchange and new ideas. Young Leonardo come to the decision to study painting and joined the art studio of Verrocchio.

Codex on the Flight of Birds was probably written in 1505. The title is due to the topic texts and drawings deal with. In particular, Leonardo started to analyze birdsflight and structure to then move to designing flying machines.

The Codex is not a mere miscellaneous collection of notes and ideas, but a methodical attempt of analysis and proposal of new ideas about the subject of flight. Leonardo indeed nurtured the idea of a big essay divided into four parts, but he never ended his work.

D-Parmy has the intention to represent, rigorously by hand on each stand, the experiment with Flapping Wing designed by Leonardo.

This experimental machine was used to verify the capability of the human strength to flap with the sufficient energy the machine wing.

According to another interpretation, the same machine could have been useful to verify the behaviour of the wing itself during the intense movements it was supposed to make when used.

On the pen instead, the face of Leonardo has been portrayed, by hand as well.

D-PARMY wanted to transfer such magnificence to a fountain pen, using with a unique approach intarsia and craftsmanship techniques.

The decorations, completely handmade on each single pen and on the stands, recall Leonardos art every time one makes use of it.

The 50 one-of-a-kind pieces, completely handmade, are meant to pay tribute to the genius Leonardo da Vinci.
