A tasteful pen by Leonardo "Pithecus"

In this project, we drew inspiration from ancient Greece. The years 900-700 BC were a time of dramatic transformation in Greece. Trade opened up between the Greek city-states and regions of Asia Minor, Southern Italy, and Sicily. Along with it came a cultural renaissance in poetry, architecture, and art. Today, Italy remains incredibly rich in culture, across all fields of art, including music, visual arts, and film. Although Momento Magico references ancient times, it also nods to modern music and film, such as Roberto Rossellini's Black Angel from 1962.

 Ancient and contemporary.

This is the inspiration for Momento Magico.The historical significance of this pen is expressed through a fresco on its central band, representing decoration from the period of artistic awakening known as “geometric art”. Five special resins were chosen for the production of this writing instrument, finished with metals that illustrate the artistic glory of this extraordinary period in history. The color palette of the materials is inspired by Rossellini's film and the moments captured within it.

Charming masterpieces of design and functionality – this is how one could define Leonardo Officina Italiana.
