It's Italian!
- Review Add on: 19-06-2024
- Average Rating: (4)
After seeing many reviews about Leonardo Officina Italiana pens, I decided to buy the Momento Magico Matte Black Anima Nera RT, and don't be fooled by the matte finish as it is extra soft and has a "rubbery" feel.
The steel nib, like all steel nibs, is a little rigid and, depending on the paper, feels scratchy.
Above all, I only have one complaint, the piston movement could be a little quieter.
If you receive the pen, check if the feed is in the correct position, if not, just adjust it.
It's Italian, beauty above all.

Review of Leonardo Momento Magic Matte Black Anima Nera RT Fountain Pen
- Review Add on: 12-06-2024
- Average Rating: (5)
I have recently bought aLeonardo Momento Magic Matte Black Anima Nera RT Fountain Pen and find it absolutely thrilling to write with espcially after I had the nib tuned and smoothen by the specialist at Appelboom. Its simply a great pen with easy and consistent ink flow that helps to improve my writing. Its design is elegantly classic and yet its colour is somewhat contemporary thus setting it apart from the rest. Its currently my favourite pen and I take it everywhere. It never fails to draw attention from those who are curious about the brand and model

mooie pen, lekker dik, daar houd ik wel van. Ik heb de bold penpunt erbij besteld, deze geeft een fijne volle inktstreep, waar je nog wel mooi mee kunt schrijven. Klassieke uitstraling.
Piston - zuiging: je moet een paar keer deze doen, voordat het inktreservoir redelijk gevuld is. Dus punt helemaal in de inkt !

Momento Magico Anima Nera is a great every-day-carry pen
- Review Add on: 13-03-2023

I got the Momento Magico Anima Nera in matte black finish with RT trim. It's a beautiful pen and pretty lightweight. The fit and finish have high precision and it writes flawlessly from the beginning. The tuning that Appelboom did was great. I find that the nibs on Leonardo pens tend to more narrow in line width than most European brands and this is also the case for the Anima Nera. The steel nib is fairly rigid as expected. The ink volume is 1.5 mL, I think and will allow you to write all day. A great, stealthy choice for an every-day-carry pen!

Pretty much exactly what I wanted
- Review Add on: 09-09-2022
- Average Rating: (5)
An absolutely delightful writer that exceeded my expectations. The piston mechanism is smooth with no slack, and the styling and finish is precisely what I was hoping for. I love the matte finish as there's no fingerprints to blemish the look as well as being easy to securely hold with a light grip.
Writing wise, the steel EF nib is now my favourite in my collection being exceptionally smooth and at just the perfect wetness. The body is relatively lightweight and there's no hot spots that dig into my tripod grip. Extended writing sessions are a joy with this pen.
Overall I'm extremely happy with this pen.

EONARDO MOMENTO MAGICO MATTE BLACK ANIMA NERA RT FOUNTAIN PEN
- Review Add on: 15-07-2022
- Average Rating: (5)
I have wanted a Leonardo pen for a long time. This is a pen that exceeds my budget, but indeed it is worth saving for. It is a very elegant pen, with a solid build quality, and it fits my hand perfectly. The nib writes perfectly with no adjustments necessary. It is a wonderful writing tool. The fine #6 fine nib wrote more like an extra fine, but that doesn't fatter for me,. It' a very smooth nib. I have used it for only black ink so far, but this pen,, and this nib have made me like writing with black more than before. Black suits this pen wonderfully. This is without doubt my favorite pen, the best pen I have experienced, and I will save for more pens of this kind. The price is very competitive for Italian pens of this standard., gives high value for money invested. I will really recommend this pen. This is a pen that is well worth saving for.

A Writer's Pen
- Review Add on: 13-06-2022

Clean elegant lines. Excellent fit and function. It works out of the box. Wet smooth nib. Good fill with a smooth piston. Comfortable in the hand. The ink window with a metal band on each end should be on every piston filler. After three days of writing with this pen, I am enjoying it very much. One turn to remove the cap. My first purchase from both Appelboom and Leonardo. I don't want to sound over the top but the product and the service were excellent.

A great piston filler
- Review Add on: 20-05-2022
- Average Rating: (4)
So I got this pen and I really like it.
Design: beautiful matte black is eternally classy
Filling: massive inf capacity and smooth piston - I love
Nib: this is where I have an issue *disclaimer* I am using noodler’s x-feather because work paper is aweful and I need a permanent ink.
I have had 2 problems with the nib
1) frequent hard starts : I blame the dry X-Feather but have yet to try a better behaved ink (Waterman). It does get going with pressure but it’s not as smooth as I wanted.
2) nib leakage and inkcident... the screw-in nib is awesome, less it leaks into the cap, as happened to me. I just removed it and put on silicon grease.
OVERALL then, 4/5.
It’s great looking
Immense ink capacity
Easy to replace and repare nib (silicon grease)
But frequent hard starts with a dry ink.

Perfect Beauty, Perfect Gift

I purchased this pen as my birthday gift to myself after having other three other Leonardos. The weight is a little lighter than the others, which I like to write longer. The design is so beautiful that caught my eye immediately. The EF nib writes smoothly, without faults and the piston operates well. Just the perfect gift. Buying for Appelboom is always a pleasure.

Nice Fountain Pen
- Review Add on: 15-02-2022
- Average Rating: (5)
I bought this pen with the extra fine elastic nib, The nib writes smoothly with nice line variation and creates wet lines, so you have to wait a little bit until the ink dries up. The piston is easy going and holds enough ink for several pages. A nice bonus is the opportunity to disassemble the pen for a nice cleanup from the nib to the inside of the piston.
