I recently published a new article in my Blog, about the new Set that Visconti is releasing in these days (Arte della Scrittura).
Starting from the origin of writing, and quickly coming to our modern pens.
This is a short start:

 

Art of Writing by Visconti: evolution of style tool set

At the origins of writing

Writing is an expression of language by letters or other marks. Surprisingly enough, mankind originally started to write numbers – not letters – for the mere purpose of record keeping. This later developed into more complex systems to record human language. Such an exhaustive writing of language was invented independently in at least two places: in Mesopotamia, around 3200 BCE, and in Mesoamerica (Mexico), around 600 BCE. Read more...

Visconti made the Sets in 15 colors (some of them in very small quantities: 4, 10, 20, and already sold out).
I currently have in stock 3 colors, and they're beautiful!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
