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 Momento Zero is a nice pen, and this black finish is close to feeling like a rubberized finished is a bit matte and well, rubbery. At first I was hesitant, but the more I use it the more I like it. It definitely stands out as a pen. The pen is otherwise rather classic in looks and all regards. The black metal is a bit disappointing in one way; they’re are not really what I would call black. Rather a dark chromed thing. As such it doesn’t have the usual coating, which i hope will lead to it staying this way way longer than coating that often are prone to flake off with long time use.
The nib is smooth, but does give me some problems with skippings when i start writing words. It has a rather small sweet spot and it takes a bit of learning to write unaffected by it.
I like this pen a lot, but I would like to have seen a few more things in design and quality to give it a solid five. Insted it is a very solid 4. It is a very nice pen.
