Some new pens have hit the market. It’s the Momento Zero series (the Italian for “Zero Moment”). They display a beautifully classical look, with their informal and natural style. The colors of their resins and celluloid are sober, yet iridescent. Their name calls for rebirth, commitment, and enthusiasm.
The brand is Leonardo Officina Italiana, a novice in the pen-making field. This start-up was founded by brother and sister Salvatore and Mariafrancesca Matrone, whose names should ring a bell to pen lovers.

Earlier this year, Giardino Italiano issued a very special pen to celebrate its 20th anniversary: Giardino dell’Eden. This pen was exclusively designed and produced by Italian penmaker Visconti for Giardino Italiano. Its style, character and significance are unique, and as rare as the scrimshaw technique used to decorate each and every piece of this limited series.
