Product Name Furore Grande. The line is inspired by the colors of the Amalfi Coast of Italy.

Length 6-1/16". Oversized, but the section narrows to a small, comfortable diameter at the very front near the nib.

Color Smeraldo, a really lovely blue-green color with lots of shimmery swirls throughout. Rhodium trim. (Some USA websites call it "Emerald Blue") The company describes the inspiration for the color thusly: "The Grotto dello Smeraldo was formed over millennia and for much of that time was only a mysterious legend. Discovered by a fisherman in 1932, the grotto gradually filled with seawater and when the sunlight filters through it, the turquoise waters are tinged with a magical emerald color that sends sparkling reflections onto the cave walls."
Nib MEDIUM steel nib.
Condition Near mint condition. Very light handwear and polishing marks, which are only visible under magnification. No cracks, chips, dents or dings. The trim all looks great, no brassing or plating wear. Imprints are all crisp, and clear. The pen is oversized, but not heavy, and sits nicely balanced in the hand. With small Leonardo box.
