Thanks, Vincenzo! I was on the fence about this one because I've heard nothing but bad things about Visconti nibs. Your glowing review plus the fact that the nib is Schmidt has pushed me to get one!
This is definitely a good writer and looks and feels great. The nib i believe is a Schmidt nib and I have recently discovered how really good they are.
@@fountainpentherapy you are so very welcome. it has been wonderful watching the numbers rise with every outstanding video. Continued success and enjoyment!
I love the look but Visconti scares me. I purchased a Rembrandt in Florence, Italy on vacation and it was a disappointment. I wish the high end luxury brands were critiqued as hard as the cheap Chinese pens. I shouldn’t have a cap that doesn’t seal and a nib that needs tuning on a new Visconti. It seems to be well known that Visconti is hit or miss on nib quality but they continue to charge a premium for their products. Anyway rant over. I just discovered your channel. Great review.
This pen is the first among many dollars spent on Visconti pens that I am pleased with. I agree the nibs are hit and miss and at that price that should not happen.
I still wonder why people want the Visconti Homosapiens Lava model. I'll go on reddit, and people list that pen as their "grail" pen. I guess people want a very expensive non-functional pen, or pretty paper weight! By the way, my Faber Castell e-motion nib will actually fit into this pen.
It’s a beautiful resin! Makes me want to pick up my vintage Esterbrook J in copper celluloid.
This pen resurrected my interest in Visconti. i will be visiting their store in Florence this summer.

@@fountainpentherapy I agree. I find myself loving Schmidt #6 size broad nibs and Bock #6 size double broad nibs these days.
@@fountainpentherapy I just ordered the exact same Apollo M! Looking forward to trying it out and thanks again for the thorough review.
Congratulations for surpassing 1000 subscribers!

Bella collezione di penne stilografiche 👍
Grazie
Great review. Have Aphrodite and Athena… gonna def pick up Zeus and Apollo too.
Good choice!
If atlas stationers said they would give u a free benu talisman or Mythos in any color or nib size which would u choose the benu or Visconti Mythos?
The Viscont Mythos.
@@fountainpentherapy great i have the other girly color on order.
I believe the nib is Schmidt
Thanks for the info.

My experiences with Visconti are all bad. This pen was the first good one
2:06, To be fair, if a nib lived up to the reputation of Visconti, it would either write like crap or wouldn't write at all.
I have had many problems with Visconti nibs. This is the first one that came out OK
