Among the century-old fountain pens, Visconti, founded in 1988, looks unusually young. In the eighties and nineties of the last century, a number of fountain pen manufacturers appeared in Italy, and Visconti was an outstanding representative of them. It was founded by two fountain pen enthusiasts with the goal of reviving the golden age of fountain pens from the 20s to the 50s of the eighteenth century.
 
The brand's passionate, little historical benefit is that it can do anything, and the materials used by Visconti for the barrels include imitation celluloid and brass aluminum, and occasionally volcanic rock. The inking method has used a pulling piston, and also engaged in the pen tail button, and their bold creativity has made them a popular niche brand in a short period of time, with many die-hard fans.
 
Like all Italian fountain pen brands, Visconti also has some gold and silver style pens, but it is still more recommended to have different design themes of imitation celluloid fountain pens, especially the most cost-effective Van Gogh series, with 2000 yuan you can experience the purest Visconti style. The Van Gogh series reproduces Van Gogh's paintings in the form of celluloid patterns on the pen body, and the corresponding painting pattern is also attached to the packaging box, and the whole work is full of artistic atmosphere, which is very decent as a gift. Although the brand is young, because each pen has a different theme, the Van Gogh series of flutes is played with as a collector's item. It's a pity that the Van Gogh series only has steel tips.
 
Not only the Van Gogh series, but the entire Visconti does not have a gold tip. Its high-end products use a palladium nib, which is softer than the gold tip, and is used in the Homo sapiens series and the DIVINA Divine Comedy series. The DIVINA Divine Comedy series is based on Dante's "Divine Comedy" as the theme, the pen body is a rotational, spliced polyhedron, this shape has high requirements for craftsmanship, but Visconti has the heart but no effort, the pen occasionally has uneven lines and even the pen grip falls off naturally, reflecting the general quality control of the pen barrel, and Aurora and Wantega and other Italian predecessors can not be compared.
 
The pen shaft process is average, and the performance of the nib can only be regarded as unsatisfactory. Visconti's nibs are manufactured by the famous foundry Bock, of which Pelikan was once a customer. The quality of Visconti's nibs is fairly stable, but there are also cases where the ink is not smooth under the new pen, which can be improved by adjusting the tongue and nib, and if you have experience in repairing the pen, you will not be as desperate as buying a hero's bad pen. However, if you are not willing to toss, Visconti's current entry channels are still dominated by online shopping, and there are still certain risks in purchasing.
