Description
The name Momento Zero, absolutely evoking, exactly means a new beginning, a start from scratch; the first pen made by a new company, based on experience and passion of a strong team. The Leonardo Momento Zero collection is inspired by the Italian vintage style, worldwide known; it’s a classic pen, well balanced with size and metal trims.
The fountain pen has a stainless steel nib in different sizes (Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and Stub) 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.

The Leonardo Momento Zero is the second, of my personal collection of the Leonardo Officina Italiana pens. The Leonardo Momento Zero Horn with gold trim are among the top favorite pens in my collection. This pen comes in a diverse selection of gorgeous resin colors and trims. They are not only beautiful externally, but they make the writing an extatic experience. The weight and feel is well-balanced in hand, so you can have long writing sessions.
The body is numbered as 207 and it has two thin golden rings. The screw cap has three golden rings where it screws. It can be posted, but the pen is large enough to write unposted just fine. The gold-plated stainless steel nib [mine is Extra Fine] has the Leonardo logo and writes smooth and without effort in different kind of papers. The clip is the characteristic wheel clip that eases the attachment to either pockets or pen cases. It comes with an ink converter. The quality compares with that of the Pelikan pens.

A very nicely designed and crafted pen. Individual without attracting too much attention. Nib very smooth and pleasant in extra fine. There is a little rattle from converter contacting at top cap end of barrel, but only notice it from time to time now.

I am a male with average to small hands and find this pen comfortable to hold. I hold my pen close to the nib for finer line control and find the grip section is still small and comfortable to hold despite this being the girthiest pen I own.
The pen was purchased with an elastic extra fine steel nib and the line width is similar to a Japanese medium, and you can get a bit of line variation with the nib, but I wouldn’t press down too hard.
Looks-wise, the Horn colourway is great and understated and you can probably use it in an office setting. The pen design is great, but I do have a little problem with the clip being annoying to use as I find it quite stiff.
Overall I enjoy the pen.
