Leonardo 'Emerald' designer fountain pen

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 revival in poetry, architecture, and art. Today, Italy remains incredibly rich in culture across all arts, 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. That is the inspiration for Momento Magico.

The historical heritage of this pen is expressed in the fresco on its central band, representing decoration from the period of artistic awakening known as the “geometric art.” Five special resins were chosen for the production of this writing instrument, and it is 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 moments captured within it.

Emerald – a new vibrant color, fresh and perfectly aligned with Leonardo’s philosophy, blending vintage design with a new color palette.

Momento Magico Emerald is available with gold or silver finishes.

Fascinating masterpieces of design and functionality – this is how Leonardo Officina Italiana can be summed up in one sentence.

Their fountain pens combine craftsmanship and heritage with the newest innovations, ensuring unparalleled writing experiences.
