A few dozen kilometers from Bologna, 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.
These two LA DOTTA Labante and Travertino fountain pens are inspired by the colors, scents and settings of the caves of the same name.
LA DOTTA Labante is handcrafted in a turquoise mother-of-pearl resin and embellished with ruthenium finishes.
