Visconti Homo Sapiens Fountain Pen Bronze Extra Fine

Write With Volcanic Power

The Visconti Homo Sapiens Collection features basaltic lava from Mount Etna and resin which are catalyzed according to a secret Visconti formula. This combination creates an extraordinary writing instrument that is unbreakable, moisture absorbent, and velvety to the touch.

Since 2010, Visconti has offered this unique and stunning writing experience. But now this popular fountain pen carries a special oversized 18K rose gold nib crafted entirely by the Visconti team, ensuring complete control over its quality. Its available in extra fine, fine, medium and broad.For over 35 years, Visconti has embodied Italian excellence in the production of writing instruments. In a world where few still dare to manufacture their own in-house nibs, Visconti stands out as one of the very few.

Both the fountain pen and rollerball versions feature Visconti hook safe system where the cap locks on to the pen with a delicate twisting motion which suffices to close the pen and opens the cap by pushing it down and turning it lightly.

Fountain pens easily fill with the novel Visconti piston system and your favorite bottle of ink.
