Scribo La Dotta Ai Giardini Reservoarpenna

The Scribo La Dotta collection is a tribute to the city of Bologna. It was once a small medieval town brimming with students from all over Europe. They came to listen to the most enlightened minds of the time, talking about brand new theories and ideas. Manuscripts were copied countless times and then eagerly exchanged. It changed to profile of the city, becoming more and more vibrant and full of experiences and people.

Thanks to those illuminated minds and to the expert hands that copied the texts that made them flourish, Bologna became the place where the first university in the Western world was born. Since then, the city was nicknamed ‘La Dotta’ (the Learned), a center of cultural excellence that still attracts students from all over the world who continue, generation after generation, to live in the city and to bring it to life.

For centuries, Bologna has been an open and welcoming place. A place that goes through you with its illustrious history and that, at the same time, allows itself to be easily traversed. Its famous porticoes are a symbol of this characteristic: they are passages that protect your way through the city, leading you to its significant spots. We have chosen two of them to pay homage to Bologna "La Dotta": Ai Colli and Ai Giardini.

Ai Giardini, a mosaic of shades between green and white, recalls the Giardini Margherita, a typical destination for the Bolognese just outside the city walls, a place of leisure and light.

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. 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.
