Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age Fountain Pen
The Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age is one of the most technically distinctive fountain pens in production. The barrel is made from basaltic lava harvested from Mount Etna — a material that's naturally porous, warm to the touch, and unlike anything else in pen making. Bronze trim and clip give it an ancient, elemental character that pairs naturally with the raw lava body. The 18k gold nib and Double Reservoir Power Filler give it exceptional ink capacity and a smooth, characterful writing experience.
