This is another beautiful pen in the La Dotta line by Scribo. I bought it with a 18k broad nib. The color is a subdued purple, an elegant, marbled pattern with a wonderful chattoyance. The body is smooth and comfortable to grip for long sessions of writing. The ink flow is very wet, as is the characteristic of Scribo fountain pens. Even the 18k nib has some give, although not as flexible as the 14k nib. I recommend this pen highly.

The Scribo La Dotta Campanula is a beautiful wine color. The body of the pen is extremely comfortable to grip for long writing sessions. I got the 18k stiffer nib but it still has a good amount of feedback, which is pleasant. The pen write flawlessly with heavy ink flow.

Fountain pens fitting my hand size are typically like Pelikan M600 or Aurora Optima. This Scribo la Dotta is definitely bigger - but still fitting perfectly for my hand! The grip section has perfect ergonomics so that holding the pen and writing are pure pleasure! I chose the 14ct flexible nib which allows both, writing fine lines of constant width and variation that starts already with slight pressure.
Nib and feed are in perfect balance, allowing to draw well defined lines on not perfect paper and support flexing the nib without railroading. The original Scribo ink is, to my taste, a bit too wet for this pen. My next fill will be with a more dry ink. I rate this nib among the best three in my collection.
The unique design and the overall size of the pen is a bit out of my preference - I like it small and stealthy. However, the material of the Campanula is of amazing colour with deep reflections. The resin is semi-translucent allowing to see the ink level - that's great!
