Furore grande 2020, piston filler, 4 different colors
After numerous requests received from customers all over the world, Leonardo has decided to introduce the new Furore in the “large” version with piston mechanism (capacity 1.5ml), ebonite feed, and your choice of steel or gold nibs.
Recall that in 2018 Leonardo launched the Furore cartridge/converter filling collection, the name Furore is inspired by the famous fiord located on the Amalfi Coast, where the small village of Furore is hidden. Part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, it is officially considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy for the charm of its fiord. Halfway between Sorrento and Amalfi, just below the Path of the Gods, Furore is a hidden gem between rough cliffs and the sea. A magical place that has inspired various personalities over time: among many, the director Roberto Rossellini directed the movie “L’Amore” with the actress Anna Magnani.
Design and Specifications
The Furore Grande features slightly softer lines at the ends than the large MZ, but the clip and grip are the same. The pen body diameters are also identical.
The piston filling system, designed and produced 100% within Leonardo’s workshop, provides a huge 1.5mL ink capacity. The Furore Grande is available only as a fountain pen and includes a 40mL bottle of ink. The attention to detail in the turning and polishing phase, the high quality of the finishes make this collection unique, even the “grande” version of the Furore features a stainless steel ring (Leonardo guarantees that it is not subject to oxidation or peel over time or in contact with ink).
The Furore Grande is available in 4 different resins: a new Emerald green joins blue Hawaii, blue Positano and Purple. Each color is available with white rhodium trim only except the Purple version which is available in white rhodium and rose gold.
Rose gold-plated Steel nib sizes include: EF, F, M, B, Stub 1.1, Stub 1.5.
14k Rose Gold nib sizes include: EF, F, M, B, Stub 1.1 (new), Stub 1.3, and Elastic.

I received my purple and rose gold Furore with a Steel nib from Dan. As always, I could be assured that my pen would arrive in perfect order and ready to write. I’ve been moving to fine and extra fine over the past year and chose an EF for this pen. I am very pleased. The fit and finish and engineering of the 1.5 ml piston are superb, and the acrylic is just stunning. I have many beauties, but never had a dark, shimmering purple fountain pen. The rose gold trim is a very good complement. I’ve been writing for really just a day, but can tell that this will accompany me on my daily forays in the kingdom-a knight needs a beautiful jewelled sword. I enjoy working with Dan! From stellar grinds to troubleshooting, he is a professional as well as one who has the spark of passion for this hobby/way of writing and creating, Leonardo has clearly brought forward the family heritage and innovation. The whole package, the box, beautiful outer tiled sleeve and the complementary ink bottle make this a great choice. If I could easily sell my 149 I would buy two more of these! Thank uou Dan and Leonardo!

I’ve now been writing with my purple and rose gold Furore for a week. I must say, I love the heft, the girth and the overall feel of this fountain pen is perfection. Now, do i actually need one in another color? well, yes, yes I do.. one rose gold trim, and one rhodium! for the next one I am think of ask Dan to do a fine cursive italic grind. Dan’s work is superb! I just bought the humble steel nib version but it is so well tuned and a joy to write with!
