Visconti conceived the Homo Sapiens writing instruments line for real writers, for those to whom the fountain pen continues to represent a travelling mate, a daily friend to share with the same civilization that writing contributed to create. The material in this pen is as antique and natural as the world: lava from the Etna volcano. in south Italy. Nevertheless, it has several characteristics that render it unique in the manufacturing of writing instruments. Visconti has successfully produced a material containing pure basaltic lava, catalysed together with resin in a formula – patented thus obviously kept secret -whose extraordinary characteristics practically transforms it into a material perfectly fit to writing instruments.

Just a gorgeous pen and the material from which it is made (lava) makes it feel so comfortable in your hand.

Pen for a life time
My most desired pen, but unfortunately the pen i received first hand was having issues during writingThe pen was skipping while writing, I have contacted the seller and he agreed to correct the same.After his correction i tried writing again, but it still had the same issue. I again contacted the seller for the issue this time with photographic evidence he asked me to send the pen again, I did the sameI was very much clear that the pen had an issue with the nib so i insisted the seller to change the nib, Which he agreed and also as a favor i asked him to replace it with the medium nib (My pen originally had broad nib) initially he refused but eventually agreed to replace the pen itself with the medium nibI received the pen now and its writing as expected and i am fully satisfied, Only disappointment is aesthetically the replaced nib had pitting marks (Dont know the reason, may be they used some pen flush and not cleaned it well resulting in corrosion) but none the less pen is functioning as expected so i decided to live with itWord of caution : Pen is made up of organic material and it is hygroscopic in nature, Make sure to wipe off excess ink or water immediately in order to avoid absorption
