Review:
The Visconti Homo Sapiens Skylight Fountain Pen is manufactured by Visconti. The pen is a newer iteration of the Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age and has added ink windows on the body of the pen. The Visconti Homo Sapiens line is handmade from basaltic lava rock from Mount Etna, a volcano located in Italy and adorned with solid bronze accents. The material is durable and hygroscopic, causing it to absorb moisture. The pen is currently only available with bronze accents and in nib sizes Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and 1.3 Millimeter Stub.
