I rec'd an newsletter from Novelli.it this morning which advised a new Visconti Venus Tribute to Botticelli

There appear to be two versions Rose Gold with pinkish resin & Platinum with white resin.
Steel nibs & cartridge/converters. Plus rollergraphics, rollerballs, mechanical pencils & ballpoints
The body looks to be in the VanGogh/Dali/Michelangelo style.
UPDATE:
I've just noticed they are included on the Visconti FaceBook page as part of the Michelangelo 2014 collection- Michelangelo 2014: True Black, Back to Black, Tribute to Venus and Navy Blue.

:confused: So more logically these two pale ones should really be called Botticellis - then we would have VanGogh/Dali/Michelangelo/Unity of Italy/Botticelli all sharing the same body - a mind boggling concept. And quite feasibly you could swap gold, palladium or steel nibs between them.
