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.

Want to hold the sun in your hand? Want to feel like it’s summer all year round? This might be the pen for you.
The pen’s material is a beautiful bright orang with a swirling patern and here and there a (sun) spot. The section is surprisingly comfortable and the (steel) nib is wet and very smooth (I chose the tune & smooth option so I don’t know what a “standard” nib feels like).
The reason I only bought a Leonardo just now is the fact that I hate how they engrave the brand name/pen number on the barrel. Surprisingly, on this pen it’s on the cap which is a plus in my book.
If I have to say anything negative about this pen it’s that bigger would be better (for me) since I don’t like to post my pens. Also, in some places you can see the underlying structure through the material (only if you look carefully though). If these things “worry” you, maybe try the Furore Grande (don’t know how long I’ll be able to withstand the teptation).

Excetional pen.. I was a big fan of Delta Pens and find Leonardo’s to be just as good in terms of style, comfort and writing experience. I purchased the pen with a 14K M nib and it perorms perfectly, with a slight amount of feedback and consistent ink flow. No skipping or hard starts at all. The depth of the material is equisite.

Very good pen with quite nice nib. Orange color is simply stunning. The pen is quite big, so it might feel a bit too large if you have small hands. The nib is quite good. After smoothing and tuning it feels very smooth indeed.
