Description
The Leonardo Officina Italiana Furore collection is honouring the colors of the Amalfi Coast landscapes, where the Italian pen company is based. It’s a magic place, where land and sea meet each other, so beautiful and fascinating that takes your heart, with bright and strong colors. The vintage look of its shape recalls the old classics, rounded at ends, well balanced both when capped or posted.
The fountain pen has a stainless steel or 14ct gold nib in different sizes and uses the standard international cartridge/converter filling mechanism (converter included).
And the story goes on… A family tradition. Leonardo Officina Italiana is a forge, a laboratory where experience and craftsmanship are mixed giving life to “pleasure”, the pleasure of writing.
Over 45 years of experience in the field of writing instruments, handed down from father to son, from generation to generation. Today Leonardo Officina Italiana works on emotional and vintage projects, taking up the old loading systems, the materials and the working techniques that once characterized the craft of the craftsman. The Leonardo pens have a soul, a human warmth that only passion can give. The fountain pen carved into the material is certainly this detail that differentiates us on the world market. Each Leonardo collection is hand made in Italy.

I love this pen, I don’t know why it gives me a feeling of peace when I use it for my journal, Smooth nib with oceanal colour, It’s just meditative. I indeed appreciate Appelboom provides tune and smooth service, so I can use it right away after opened the box. Thank you!

After hearing and seeing many great reviews of Leonardos, I decided to try one out for myself. And I am not disappointed! The colouring is rich and almost dreamy, reminding me of some ocean beaches. I like a larger pens and this certainly meets my needs. It feels elegant to hold, looks luxurious and write very smoothly. Many thanks to Joost and team!

I really love this Leonardo. I’ve bought a few of them so far and this one is perhaps my favourite. The fine nib was extremely well-tuned and the acrylic is to write home about. Gorgeous. Leonardo has quickly become one of my favourite brands for sure, I’m eager to see what they’ll come up with in the future. And thanks to Appelboom for the great service!

I simply love the pen and the experience I had buying it from Appelboom.
First the pen:
Looks: It is beautiful, I love the color and the radiance of the body
Size and comfort: It is perfect for my hands– the pen is surprisingly large, much larger than I thought, but it is exquisitely balanced– i can write well with it posted or un-posted
Nib: smoooooth out of the box, didn’t need to smooth or tune in any way
Overall, a superb writing experience– will be getting another one soon (different nib width)
Buying experience: when I had some delays, I emailed and got a personal response back from Mr. Appelboom within hours! When I received the package it was very well packed in a special Appelboom box. I would have no hesitation in ordering from Appelboom again.
Awesome.
Thank you

A piece of art. The writing experience is smooth and very comfortable. And I can´t put it away, because it amazes me how beautiful this pen is. I do often turn it in my hand and watch how it catches the light. Stunning material. Whenever holding it in my hand and watching the shades of blue, I´m thinking of an immediate trip to the mediterranian sea. I adore this pen and write with it on daily base.

It took a little while to get it, but it was worth it. The Pen looks awesome and writes like a dream right out of the box. I would totally recommend to anyone who wants a classy stunning and beautiful fountain pen. Thank Appleboom to recommend this pen to me.

A beautiful resin. I got mine in “gold” trim and it probably would look better in the “silver” trim. It is a very smooth and wet writer, just what I like in a fountain pen. I have large 77 year old fingers and find the grip, which I measure at 10.4 mm at minimum, to be adequate but I am happier at 11 mm.
An excellent writer and attractive, worth the price.

This is not my first Leonardo Furore pen purchase but it is the first time I have received one of these beautiful pens that wrote straight out of the box and which then wrote reliably without hard starts or skips.
The pen is worth every penny of its cost and Appelboom have truly impressed with their service. I intend to expand into the Leonardo Momento range but the Furore is the most attractive pen I own and I know I will buy again.
If you are thinking of buying a Leonardo Furore you will get a reliable pen from Allelboom.

This pen is a stunner. It feels so good in the hand. I love Leonardo’s sections. The resin is exquisite! Such a beautiful color. The only issue I had with it was the nib. It hard started. After working with it for a bit, it writes flawlessly. I love writing with this pen. It is pure job!

This is my first Leonardo and first purchase with Appelboom. I must say that I am truly amazed with my experience on both these fronts.
First about the pen. It’s a cigar shaped beautiful pen with mesmerising shades of blue azure colour. The golden plated steel nib with Leonardo logo goes well with the size and colour of the pen. It writes amazingly smooth and it is one of the smoothest writing pen I possess. It’s a fairly big pen – which is a big plus for me. The idea of having threading to perfectly fit the converter to nib unit is impressive, but I when I discovered that the detachable tapering end of the pen can also give a piston filler kind of experience, I was even more impressed. In short, it’s a must buy for every fountain pen lover, writer and collector.

Dear Mr Joost,
I want to thank you for the awesome packing of my pens, they had reached me safe without even a single scratch.
The pen is just superb and worth all its pennies. Its design is just perfect to write with and its smoothness is just meticulous. It is wet on paper and gives out flawless writing. I have this beauty in 1.5 mm stub and i guess i am in love with it.
Only thing is i expected it to be a traditional piston filler instead of a cartridge piston. Nonetheless its a must go for all fp lovers.

This pen is excellent in the hand and I love the size and shape. The material is stunning, to say the least!
Very happy with the service provided by Appelboom team, communication was prompt and the nib tuning service did wonders to the nib. Writes beautifully out of the box.
A special note to the amazing packaging by Appelboom team. The carefulness and details of the packaging was really something new for me, excellent job!

Beautiful pen, which writes wonderfully, even with a steel nib. Looks even better than on the photos and is very well made. Highly recommended for pen lovers.

This pen gave me such great pen happiness ! First, the customer service from Appelboom is superb! The packing is lovely and such a nice touch with the pen wrapped as a present, that alone really makes the occasion of receiving a new pen something extra special.
The pen is so beautiful- it is like looking into a swirling Mediterranean sea! The gold trim fits it beautifully. The nib- oh this nib-.. It is by far the best steel nib I have ever had the pleasure to write with on a modern pen- just glides smoothly and with just exact wetness over the paper! It had been tuned by the nib specialist at Appelboom, and what a fantastic job she did! I cannot recommend this pen enough if you want both a beautiful and comfortable pen that writes superbly. I am a very happy customer that has both found a great place to buy from and a new favorite pen brand! (I tried to write an earlier review but it somehow got lost in cyberspace..)
