Visconti Homo Sapiens Chiantishire Rollerball Pre-owned

Visconti conceived the Homo Sapiens Chiantshire rollerball for real writers, for those to whom the pen continues to represent a travelling mate, a daily friend to share with the same civilization that writing contributed to create.

This limited editions (888 pieces worldwide) of the successful Visconti Homo Sapiens is, unlike the regular lava version, made of acrylic. Acrylic is a high quality of natural resin. Using acryilic creates transparent areas on the pen, this feature makes every pen unique. Through the semi-transparency of the pen both the ink level and the filling system are very well noticable, which gives a beautiful iridescence in combination with the blue acrylic. Where the regular lava version of the Visconti Homo Sapiens is based on the primal force of the volcanos is the Visconti Homo Sapiens Chiantshire rollerball based on the lush Florence hills in Toscane, home of the Chianti wine.

Chiantishire is an informal nickname given to an area close to Florence, Tuscany, where many upper class British citizens have moved or usually spend their holidays. The word is a late 20th century neologism and derives from Chianti, the red wine produced in centralTuscany, in particular in the provinces of Siena and Florence.
