Classic Leonardo fountain pen with a gold nib "Momento zero Pietra marina"

Designed at the end of 2017, our inaugural Momento Zero pen quickly became an icon among pen collectors.

Appreciated for its vintage-style details, Italian DNA, size, and balance, the Momento Zero also became a favourite due to its vibrant colours and the high-quality acrylic and special resins from which it is made.

Each Momento Zero is turned from a solid rod and numbered on the pen's body.

Fascinating masterpieces of design and functionality – this is how the brand Leonardo Officina Italiana can be defined in a single sentence.

Drawing from deep historical roots and utilising cutting-edge technologies, Leonardo has created unique designs and mechanisms. Their fountain pens combine craftsmanship, a testament to heritage, with the latest innovations, providing an unparalleled writing experience. Each creation balances elegance with advanced performance, transcending the role of a mere tool to become a work of art, symbolising an era of passion and commitment.

Family craftsmanship

Dedicated to the craft of writing instruments for half a century, Ciro Matrone instilled Leonardo Officina Italiana with a tradition enriched by innovations.

From his key role in founding Delta in 1982, to mentoring young talents and guiding his children, Salvatore and Mariafrancesca, towards artisanal mastery, Ciro Matrone wove craftsmanship and family bonds into the fabric of Italian design.

This vibrant legacy is expressed in the modern "scriptorium," where each piece is a chapter of history and innovation, inscribed with love and dedication.
