Scribo La Dotta Travertino PVD Corten Fountain pen

A few dozen kilometers from Bologna, the home of Scribo, in the hills separating Emilia-Romagna from Tuscany, we find the Labante Caves, one of the most impressive travertine formations in Italy, with a length of 54 meters and a drop of about 15 meters.

The caves were created by the erosive action of spring water that, over millennia, has created a fairy-tale and evocative landscape where you can admire stalactites, stalagmites, flows and pools. In addition to their geological value, the Labante Caves are located in an area of great scenic beauty, and their dark and silent environment is capable of creating an evocative and fascinating atmosphere. The travertine that makes them up is a sedimentary limestone that is widespread in Emilia-Romagna and in Bologna itself. In fact, travertine has been used since Roman times for the construction of numerous historic buildings in our city including, the Two Towers and the incomplete Basilica of San Petronio facade that dominates Piazza Maggiore in the city center.

The two new Scribo La Dotta Labante and Travertino fountain pens are inspired by the colors, scents and settings of the caves of the same name.

• Scribo La Dotta Labante is handcrafted in a turquoise mother-of-pearl resin and embellished with ruthenium finishes
• Scribo La Dotta Travertino features for the first time "Corten" PVD metal finishes that encircle the multi-colored resin

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.
