The Scribo La Dotta collection honors the rich history and heritage of Scribo's home in Bologna, Italy. This 2023 limited edition collection highlights Bologna's architectural monuments created in the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
The Scribo La Dotta Valverde highlights the engineering marvel that supplied water to the city. Yellow, green, and orange Diamondcast resin shimmers with real, conflict-free diamond dust. Scribo pairs polished yellow gold trim and a gold nib on this antique-looking material.
Similarly to the city that inspired it, La Dotta is characterized by a sinuous, rounded appearance. To achieve this shape, SCRIBO removed the facets from their first model, the "Feel," to accentuate the smoothness and grace of the pen's gently curving profile. As with the Feel, La Dotta also has a well-balanced design and a high-quality writing experience.
At the heart of the Scribo writing experience is the gold nib with a custom ebonite feeder. For writers who want a soft, flexible writing experience, the 14kt "Feel the Flex" nib is one of the best flexible fountain pen nibs on the market today. For a smooth, flowing writing experience in a variety of nib sizes, the 18kt gold "Feel the Writing" nib is a premium choice for discerning writers.
The Valverde cistern is a work of hydraulic engineering built in the 16th century to supply water to the city. The connection between the towers and the cistern, although indirect, is very significant. The towers, a symbol of wealth and power of the city, made the construction of the cistern possible, and this helped improve the lives of the citizens.
