Thecathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, with its famous dome, is a masterpiece of theItalian Renaissance. The harmony and strength of its proportions mark adecisive break with medieval thought. The edifice was completed in 1436.  Its architect, Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1461) was also an engineer. Heexecuted the design drawings for the cathedral and supervised construction downto the last detail.   The creations of the "Medici" LimitedEdition have a force for design with assertive, forceful lines. The guillochecornices adorning the lighters and desk clock give them stature and nobility.  On a smaller scale, ST Dupont has succeeded in rediscoveringperspective, which heralded the modern era and the triumph of reason and lightover the "Dark Ages"   ST Dupont decided to name this editionfor the Medici family, great patrons of the arts in Florence throughout the15th century.   The creations in the "Medici" Limited Editionare inspired directly - and with astonishing fidelity - by the exteriordecoration of the cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore.   ST Dupontreinterprets the polychrome marblework on the facades of the edifice, where theskillfull interplay of dark green and veined white lacquer creates a marquetryinlay effect.   Inlays of beveled red jasper refer to the color of thetile used for the dome, still found throughout Tuscany .   The guillochecornices (lighters and desk clock) and the personalized clips adorning the pensand the fountain pen are ultra-sophisticated. The engraving fountain owes itsextreme refinement to perfectly mastered modern digitally controlled technique.  The radiance of the platinum finish is beyond compare.
