Leonardo Momento Zero Pausilya GT Fountain pen

The Leonardo Momento Zero Pausilya Fountain Pen is inspired by the timeless elegance and serene beauty of Posillipo, one of the most scenic and refined areas of Naples. The name Pausilya originates from the ancient Greek word “Pausilypon,” meaning “respite from worries,” perfectly reflecting the calm, contemplative spirit embodied by this exceptional writing instrument.

Posillipo is renowned for its rolling hills adorned with historic villas, lush gardens, archaeological parks, and a protected marine area overlooking the sea. These breathtaking landscapes—where land and water meet—are beautifully translated into the pen’s color palette. The amber tones evoke warm sunlight and historic architecture, while deep dark teal hues mirror the rich colors of the Mediterranean Sea, creating a refined and harmonious visual balance.

Designed in 2017 and produced exclusively in Italy, the Leonardo Momento Zero series has become a beloved classic among fountain pen enthusiasts worldwide. Its design draws from 1930s fountain pen aesthetics, featuring elegant details such as three cap rings, the traditional “ruzzolina” rolling clip, and graceful conical finials, blending vintage inspiration with modern craftsmanship.

Calm, elegant, and expressive, the Leonardo Momento Zero Pausilya Fountain Pen offers a smooth and balanced writing experience while capturing the poetic atmosphere of Naples’ coastline. It is more than a writing instrument—it is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and write with a sense of timeless Italian beauty.

The fountain pen has a stainless steel nib in different sizes (Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, Stub and Elastic) and uses the standard international cartridge/converter filling mechanism (converter included). It is also possible to upgrade to a 14kt gold nib.

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. Each Leonardo collection is hand made in Italy.
