Description
Leonardo Officina Italiana has added a new pen to its range: the Momento Magico. It is a fountain pen with a piston filling system designed and produced in their own workshops. The pen body is characterized by a transparent ink window that measures 10 mm, which lets you see the ink level at any given time. Not that you will run out of ink quickly, as the barrel has a massive 1.5 ml. capacity.
Another element that characterizes the Momento Magico is the possibility to completely disassemble the pen. This lets you clean your pen more easily if necessary. For this specific purpose Leonardo has created a new piston tool (sold separately).
The cap of the Momento Magico is characterized by the central band perforated with a detail of the decorations belonging to the period known in the history of art as ‘geometric art’. It refers to the production of decorations of Greek civilization between 900 and 700 BC, which takes its name from term traditionally used for ceramics, production of the same period.
The pen is available with a steel nib, a gold nib or a gold flex nib. The gold nibs have an ebonite feed. The nibs have received and extra-strong lamination treatment, which makes them suitable for any type of ink.
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. Each Leonardo collection is hand made in Italy.

The Smeraldo acrylic from Leonardo is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever experienced. I did a YouTube review of this pen here: https://youtu.be/poc4TB_O4zE

Enfin un Leonardo avec piston et ink window. Je l’dore. L’écriture est lisse à souhait et l’acrylique tout à fait splendide. Quand à la qualité de fabrication, rien à redire.
Juste un peu chère pour une plume en acier, mais bon elle marche superbement, donc difficile d’en être déçu.

The material this pen is made out of is beautiful, but keep in mind It’s a little bit greener than it looks like online, and the piston isn’t as smooth as something like a Pelikan but overall it’s beautiful pan.

After being in this hobby for a while, I finally got my first Italian pen! This was a dream. It’s stunning in person even more so than the images. It just has a glow to it. The piston filler is so smooth that it kind of surprised me how easily the piston moved compared to pelikan/Twsbi pistons. The jowo nib also glides on the paper, and is amazing like always. I am hooked and have ordered another Leonardo already.
