Visconti Pens
If you are looking for a Visconti item not listed on our website contact customer service. We are often able to get Visconti pens and inks not listed.
The Visconti company was founded by Dante Del Vecchio in Florence, Italy in 1988. Each Visconti writing instrument is hand crafted to create the highest level of beauty and artistry. Each Visconti pen is made with the highest quality materials and cutting-edge technology making each item truly a masterpiece. Visconti is truly one of the worlds leading manufacturers of fine writing instruments.
Visconti's vision is truly revolutionary with the materials and components they use such as volcanic lava. First introduced in 2010, Visconti created a collection of fine writing instruments using basaltic lava from Mount Etna. The lava is mixed with a patented resin formula creating a virtually unbreakable material. Not only is it unique but both beautiful and function-able.
Visconti has also worked with artist Claudio Mazzi who paints objects for private collectors and large companies such as Maserati, Ducati and Ferrari. Mazzi has created a number of limited edition pieces that are truly remarkable.
Another remarkable invention by Visconti is the double reservoir power filling system in some of their fountain pens. With the addition of a second reservoir the patented filling prevents leakage and is ideal for the traveler.
Each component of their pens have been improved over time both for performance and quality. These and others are just an example of the ingenuity of the Visconti brand setting themselves apart from other pen companies.
Visconti offers a two year warranty on regular edition writing tools that covers all manufacturer defects. Limited edition pens come with a lifetime warranty.

Customer Reviews
The Visconti Opera Metal True Black edition is a stunning pen with excellent build quality. I experience no issues with the nib that stays wet (medium wet would be the best way to describe it) and doesn't hard start or skip even when left uncapped for a few hours. The pen is perfectly weight both capped and uncapped for my slightly larger hands. The avonial or avionics grade aluminum from which the pen is made has a nice texture and feel to it, which makes the pen feel substantial and I dare say almost indestructible. Even capped the pen does not become unwieldy, but slightly back weighted. Uncapped, the weight distribution is perfect by my writing style and hand size. Combine that with a unique nib and medium wet ink flow, you have a pen that's fun to write with that you will be able to write with for a long time. A full review of this pen exists at the penhabit.com. Overall all worth every penny at the discounted price found at Pen Chalet!!

I bought this just because the price was ridiculous and I just could not pass on it. Second I have wanted to try a Visconti and was always hesitant about the price since folks keep complaining about the nibs in blogs. I did not have an issue with this one. I was planning on having it as a keepsake and now it has joined the ranks of my always inked pens. I do enjoy the magnetic top. I use it posted and its not heavy. I have it in a broad nib and its pretty smooth writing. No scratching at all. I have always been a Pilot chick. I love that their nibs the most but the prices on pen chalet have been so amazing I have branched out and I am grateful as I now have new brands in my collection that I love and Visconti is one of them.

Absolutely love this pen. I was a little skeptical reading some of the earlier reviews, but glad I went ahead with my purchase, especially at the sale price!
I primarily use this pen for day to day which includes a lot of note taking in my planner. I went with the extra fine nib and have had no irregularities whatsoever. It is silky smooth and gives me a lot more precision than the previous pen that I was using for this purpose (Diplomat Marakesh M Nib). I absolutely love the materials and durability of the aluminum. I do have relatively large hands, so unlike others this is perfectly sized and feels well balanced for my writing style.

There were initial hiccups as pen was out of stock and pen chalet had to order visconti for oversize green divina in 1.3 stub. I was initially frustrated but the staff communication of pen chalet was prompt and excellent. They explained the situation to me and reassured me that i will get the pen quickly as soon as they get it from visconti.
This is exactly what happened i got the pen with in 4 days after pen chalet got it, keeping in mind that they had to ship it to Saudi Arabia where I'm located. So kudos to penchalet for their efforts and professionalism.
The pen is a beautiful elegant imposing stunner. The wonderful smooth stub nib wrote out of the box without skipping. Altogether im very happy and satisfied with the purchase. Thank you pen chalet.

I love this pen! It is large, uses a Power Filler system, and the nib writes very well. Mine is a Bronze Age with a Fine nib. I had read a lot about these pens having nib problems, but mine is excellent.

A beautiful blue ink, bright enough to stand out when needed but still suitable for everyday use. Pro tip: put the bottle in the clear plastic top of the case to stabilize it when filling your pen.

Material and built quality is flawless, the smartouch nib is smooth and very pleasant to write with if you prefer a harder nib. My M writes finer than expected for an M from Visconti which I like. The flow is well adjusted. the plastic ring feels and look a bit cheap and that's my only complain about this pen. otherwise it's a superb writing instrument to add to anyone's collection.

This pen is a thing of beauty, no question. The barrel pattern is mesmerizing, and shows off any ink I have loaded the pen with most attractively. The nib writes well also.

In a phrase: my current go-to pen for everyday writing. Excellent ink flow, smooth writing on most paper, easy on the hand. It doesn't feel luxurious but it does feel nice. Well made and durable. Recommended.

I recently purchased this pen with the fine nib. I flushed it out. It wrote perfectly upon touching the paper. I am running Noodler's x-feather in it. No issues at all on cheap USA made work paper. I appreciate the discount and free shipping. Nice service and pen. Regards.

I received an absolutely stunning Visconti 125th Anniversary Van Gogh fountain pen for Christmas, the Orchard in Blossom which is mostly grey tones with rose gold. I ordered this Visconti Black ink to use in it. The ink is a beautiful color, black shading to dark grey. The bottle is uniquely shaped and is beautiful. I wish the bottles were still made of glass, but the clear plastic isn't noticeable as such until you touch it. The bottle is actually designed for function as well as for style, as the narrow bottom allows the ink to be drawn up even when the bottle is close to being empty. The ink comes packaged with a clear cover which is useful when filling your pen; set the bottle inside the inverted cover and there are no worries that the bottle's narrow base will tip over. I'm undecided as to whether this ink seems to be a bit drier in some of my pens than some of my other inks. All in all, a lovely and unique bottle of ink, made in Italy.

This is only my 2nd bottle of Visconti ink, and I'm a convert. The Bordeaux is the exact color I want in my MB William Shakespeare. Nice and wet and a lustrous beautiful red wine color.
