Galileo Galilei

With this limited edition, Marlen pays homage to one of the most revolutionary figures in history: Galileo Galilei, considered the founding father (and defender) of modern science. Indeed, it is to him that we owe the "scientific method" used in all sciences (with slight variations from discipline to discipline). The collection is crafted from silver and Italian resin. The central section of the barrel is hand-painted silver and depicts Galileo Galilei's discovery of the planet Jupiter's four largest satellites. Using small telescopes, the scientist was able to observe Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto orbiting their planet. This discovery was crucial to proving Copernicus's heliocentric theory. Galileo Galilei's signature is also featured on the barrel. The cap is composed of two large rings: one in silver with a hand-painted portrait of Galileo Galilei, and one in glittery resin. At the top of the cap, a small silver disc reproduces the Marlen logo. Each pen was individually painted with a special fire enamel technique.
