Leonardo Officina Italiana Momento Magico Fountain Pen - Sea Sand, Gold Trim
A magical journey
A journey linked to the minerals that populate our planet, from ocean currents to continuous climate changes. Over time, the stone and its minerals transform into small grains of sand, it travels and continually changes, its colors and reflections change in contact with the seas.
The Momento Magico is enriched with the new Sea Sand.
Sand accumulates slowly over time, travels along the coast carried by currents, is removed from beaches by large waves during storms and then redeposits during periods of calm.
Like sand transported by the wind and the sea, the grains that enrich Sea Sand stand out on its surface, recalling sandy beaches and the richness of their nuances.

MOMENTO MAGICO PEN COLLECTION
For this project Leonardo Officina Italiana looked to ancient Greece. 900-700 BC was a time of dramatic transformation in Greece. Trade opened up between the Greek city-state and parts of Asia Minor, southern Italy and Sicily. With it came a cultural revival of poetry, architecture and art. Today, Italy is still exceedingly culturally rich. In all of the arts, including music, the visual arts and film. While the Momento Magico harkens back to the ancients, it also looks to a more recent muse, the 1962 film Anima Nera by Roberto Rossellini.
The ancient and the modern. This is the inspiration for the Momento Magico.
The historic past of this pen is expressed in the fretwork on its central band which represents the decoration belonging to this period of artistic awakening which came to be known as “Geometric Art”. Five special resins were chosen to manufacture this writing instrument and it is trimmed in metals that illustrate the artistic glory of this extraordinary time in history. The colors of the materials were inspired by the Rossellini film and moments found within it.
