HOMO SAPIENS TUSCAN HILLS COLLECTION
Imagine waking up on a clear summer morning and opening your window to the sight of the Tuscan countryside. Let yourself be embraced by the colours, sounds and smells of a land where time passes so slowly one could almost believe it has stopped. The Tuscan Hills fountain pen takes you on an imaginary journey through the poetic Tuscan landscape where thoughts flow at a slow and harmonious pace.
THE COLOUR OF THE ROLLING HILLS
The Homo Sapiens Tuscan Hills collection celebrates the beauty and harmony of the tuscan countryside. The pen’s shape took its inspiration from the gentle slopes of wheat fields. The green and brown veins of its body capture the chromatic variety of our landscapes.
A NEW LIFESTYLE
This collection embodies the search for ancestral beauty, the pleasure of tranquillity and the essence of life. It is dedicated to the ones who find their source of inspiration in nature, balance and tranquillity.
MATERIALS
The master craftsmen have drawn green and brown lines on the transparent resin to recreate the unique colour effects of the Tuscan countryside. The intricate workmanship of precious materials required to construct this demonstrator pen makes the Homo Sapiens Tuscan Hills fountain pen a true collector’s item.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Each writing instrument is made and polished in our Visconti workshop. Because the pen is a Demonstrator model and therefore partly see-through, all the resin components have to be minutely and manually polished both on the outside and the inside with little felt polishing tools.
CLOSING SYSTEM
The Homo Sapiens Tuscan Hills pen uses the patented Visconti hook safe capping mechanism which prevents the cap from accidentally unscrewing itself and leaking in your pocket. The pen features Visconti’s patented Double Reservoir Power Filler, a unique filling system that helps avoid leakages on flights and increases the pen’s ink capacity.

Limited Edition
Visconti’s history began in Florence, Italy. A cradle of art and culture, Florence also known for being home to one of the Country’s largest industrial districts for luxury and fashion.
The company is the brainchild of Luigi Poli and Dante del Vecchio, two friends who met in Florence and decided to turn a common passion into business by founding Visconti on October 20, 1988.
On that date, luxury writing instruments began to make their way in a city that was strongly linked to jewellery, leather goods and any other form of art. Over time, Visconti products became iconic pieces that helped to spread Italian values worldwide: design and creativity, craftsmanship and innovation, quality and luxury.
