Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze

Visconti conceived the Homo Sapiens collection for real writers, for those to whom the pen continues to represent a traveling mate, a daily friend to share with the same civilization that writing contributed to create. 

The Homo Sapiens Bronze collection is handcrafted from hardened basalt lava sourced from the Etna volcano in Italy, with a solid bronze trim. Visconti lava is practically unbreakable, comfortable and warm to the touch, and slightly hygroscopic, and absorbs moisture from the hand. 

Inspiration was drawn from the Bronze Age for all metallic parts. The Bronze Age, almost contemporary to the invention of writing, marked the eve of human civilization. The clip, the rings and the metal accessories -with the exception of the piston only- are all in bronze: natural bronze like the antique formula, that does not require plating or protection treatments which alter its original almost pink color and which can be easily polished with special products.

Available in fountain pen, oversize rollerball and ballpoint.

  • Bottled Fountain Pen Ink

    Choose bottled fountain pen ink if you want the widest color selection and a more refillable writing experience. Bottled ink works with compatible fountain pens using a converter, piston filling system, or other bottle-fill mechanism.

  • Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges

    Choose ink cartridges if you want a simple, convenient refill option with less setup and easier travel. Cartridges are a good choice for everyday writing, school, work, and anyone who wants a faster refill process.

  • Flushing your fountain pen regularly—

    especially when changing ink colors, every six weeks, or before storing the pen—is essential to prevent ink residue buildup, muddy color mixing, and clogged feeds that can lead to scratchy or inconsistent writing.
