Scribo La Dotta Piella Fountain pen

Scribo has created another love song for the city of Bologna, in the form of two new additions to the La Dotta collection: Piella, with its mosaic blue, and Moline, with a mother of pearl light blue.

“While walking under the porticoes of Bologna, you can come across a small window able to induce, to whoever opens it, a sense of wonder.  This ‘finestrella’ is placed at via Piella, one of the many busy little streets of the city centre. Once opened, it reveals the Moline canal: a watercourse, mostly hidden underground, which becomes visible in that area of the city flowing among the balconies of the houses. By looking from that small window you see the typical red of the Bolognese buildings interfacing not only with the blue of the sky but with another, unexpected, type of blue coming from the light dancing on the water. You observe Bologna reflecting on a canal that you would have never imagined finding there and you start to wonder about the beauty of the unforeseen. To discover something, means to make it visible, to reveal it, just like when you disclose a beautiful view by opening an apparently dull, little window.”

Only 219 copies will be made of each colour.

The nib is available in 18 kt gold or a 14 kt flex nib.

The pen fills with a piston filling mechanism.

The Scribo La Dotta is accompanied by a genuine leather and cotton handmade soft pouch that will protect up to two writing instruments. In the side pocket is a cloth to keep your fountain pens clean. A precious and modern packaging to always carry with you your favourite writing instruments.

Scribo is a young Italian brand with a long history behind it. The Scribo project started on the same day the glorious history of Omas, a historic Bolognese company that has become a cult in the world of fountain pens’ collectors, ended. With Scribo, acronym for Scrittura Bolognese, the brand ideally take the baton so that handwriting, as an ancient art retrieval story, can be pursued.
