Paperblanks Fiammetta Pencil Case – Italian Renaissance Collection
PB8191-3
Summary: Journey through centuries of artistic heritage with the Paperblanks Fiammetta Pencil Case, inspired by an 18th-century binding of Giovanni Boccaccio’s Renaissance masterpiece The Decameron. This richly detailed design captures the elegance and humanist spirit of the Italian Renaissance, transforming your writing tools into works of art.
Product Story: The Fiammetta design traces its roots to Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–1375), one of Italy’s greatest literary figures and a pioneer of Renaissance humanism. Nearly four centuries after his death, a 1725 reprint of his influential work The Decameron was adorned with an ornate, Baroque-inspired binding that reflected the sensuality and sophistication of its era. That exquisite binding, now housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, has been reimagined by Paperblanks as part of their ongoing mission to celebrate art from the world’s shared cultural heritage.
