The most iconic model from Visconti is the Bronze Age Homo Sapiens. Made to be resilient, flame-proof and slightly hygroscopic, absorbing the moisture from the hands. Basaltic lava from the Etna volcano is mixed in the resin and made into a patented material used by Visconti for this pen. This unique lava material is complemented by solid bronze trims. You can leave the bronze trims to age and get patina or polish them with a cloth for a ephemeral shinny look.

The weight of this pen is well distributed making it comfortable for extended writing session. This pen can't be accidentally uncapped , it features the Hook Safe Lock trademark capping mechanism.
