This is a handcrafted process that makes each piece precious and unique.

The Fine nib is suitable for daily writing on standard paper and small calligraphy. The Medium, on the other hand, is suitable for bolder and more legible writing. The Broad is ideal for calligraphy and distinctive signatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filling system accepts standard cartridges or a converter (included), with a capacity of approximately 1.2 ml of ink.

It draws a thin line that does not feather on standard 80 g\/m² paper. If you use wide ruled notebooks (over 8 mm) or prefer bolder writing, choose Medium. Broad is ideal, however, for calligraphy, distinctive signatures, and expressive writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow to fill the Visconti fountain pen and how many words can I write?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Visconti fountain pen accepts standard cartridges or the included piston converter. With the converter: unscrew the barrel, insert the nib into an ink bottle, turn the knob counter-clockwise to draw in ink. The capacity is 1.2 ml, equivalent to approximately 8–10 A4 pages with a Fine nib. Cartridges contain 0.8 ml and should be pressed into the section after removing the converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes the Scrimshaw decoration get damaged with daily use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver decoration is fixed in the resin through a thermal process and withstands normal use. Avoid abrasive surfaces, alcohol or acetone, and direct impacts on the barrel. For cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth.

Posted, it measures 16.8 cm and weighs 28 grams evenly distributed; unposted, it measures 13.5 cm and is lighter in hand. Those with large hands generally prefer the posted version; those who write for long periods, however, prefer not to post to reduce weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow to clean the fountain pen after a period of disuse?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the fountain pen has been unused for more than 4 weeks with ink loaded, empty the reservoir and unscrew the section from the barrel. Immerse the nib in lukewarm water for 10 minutes, then operate the converter to circulate water through the system. Repeat until the expelled water is clear, then dry and let it dry for 24 hours before refilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the magnetic cap closure secure to prevent leaks?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Visconti magnetic closure ensures reliable seal and practical use. The system keeps the cap firmly in place during transport and prevents the nib from drying out. For safety, always transport the pen vertically with the nib facing upwards, especially on an airplane or in conditions of temperature fluctuations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Visconti","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":55628118655241,"sku":"V482STGI.NE.F","price":242.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":55628118688009,"sku":"V482STGI.NE.M","price":242.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad","offer_id":55628118720777,"sku":"V482STGI.NE.B","price":242.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/8797\/7993\/files\/Eden_nera.jpg?v=1749118767","url":"https:\/\/www.pens.it\/en\/products\/visconti-giardino-eden","provider":"Pens.it by Giardino Italiano","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
