Leonardo Magic Moments Millefiori Fountain Pen

For this project we look to ancient Greece. 900-700 BC was a time of dramatic transformation in Greece. Trade was opened between the Greek city-state and parts of Asia Minor, southern Italy, and Sicily. Today, Italy is still extremely rich culturally.

While the Magic Moment harkens back to the ancients, it also harks back to a more recent muse, Roberto Rossellini's 1962 film Anima Nera. The ancient and the modern. This is the inspiration for the Magic Moment.

The historical past of this pen is expressed in the depth of its central band that represents the decoration belonging to this period of artistic awakening that came to be called "Geometric Art".

Five special resins were chosen to make this writing instrument and it is adorned with metals that illustrate the artistic glory of this extraordinary moment in history. The colors of the materials were inspired by the Rossellini film and the moments found in it.
