Visconti Pens
About Visconti
Country: ItalyThe 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.
Pen Chalet is an Authorized Dealer of Visconti pens and writing instruments.

Ron and his team certainly deliver on their promises. This was one of the "freebie" bottles of ink from my having used the "inkometer"

I expected that the bottle design could be better. Honestly I thought it is glass bottle because of the price.

This high quality resin pen is perfect for medium-sized hands. The clip attaches to my shirt firmly, and has become one of my favorites.

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.

Everything about this pen is top quality--the resin and its swirl pattern, the plunge vacuum filler and the performance if the nib and feed. My only criticism is that on this big pen, the full size VHS nib would have looked more proportionate than the Midi size nib. Otherwise, a striking design and first class operation.

This Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Age Midi "Grail Pen" is everything I hoped it would be. The price scared me away on numerous occasions, but I finally bought it during a recent Pen Chalet sale and could not be happier with a pen. The basalt lava pen is extremely durable and has just enough weight to feel special, yet not too heavy to give me fatigue after hours of writing. I write with the cap both un-posted and posted, some people do not like the pen being a bit top heavy, but it does not bother me. The dreamtouch nib is bar none the smoothest pen nib I have used out of the box. The Dark Age isn't a power filler, but it's quick and easy to fill with a few twists of the blind cap. For those who prefer to use iron gall inks and/or pigmented inks, this pen is super easy to clean, the nib and feed assembly is pressure fit into the body and the nib is custom fit to an indention in the feed so the nib assembly can be easily removed, disassembled and is a cinch to clean. If you keep coming back to look at this pen, do yourself a favor and buy one, you cannot go wrong with this choice.

I received the pen and it is as advertised, beautiful. On the first inking it took three pushes on the arc and she was ready to go. The nib is a medium and is nice and wet, there is no skipping, dripping or issues when in use just writes like a dream. The medium nib does puts down a broad line so if you tend to write on the small side you will most likely want a fine point. My overall satisfaction is great and I would recommend this beautiful instrument to anyone who loves fine fountain pens.

The low end of the Visconti range is still a beautiful and functional pen. The fine, springy stub has become my second favourite nib (after another Visconti). The pen body, fit and finish are excellent though one can see where Visconti chose to cut costs with bland plastic sections.

The Visconti Turquoise is an enchantingly beautiful color. Not just another turquoise. It is a deep, intriguing color & I love it. And thank you Pen Chalet for the fast shipping.

Outstanding service from Pen Chalet, I purchased the midi for a friend who did not want it, Returned to Pen Chalet without a problem and purchased the Maxi for myself. Great writing pen and I'm using the new Pelinkin ink with no problems.
