The history of Bologna, Italy in the Middle Ages and Renaissance is full of significant events that helped shaping the city and its culture. There are many architectural monuments that tell the rich history of Bologna from these historical periods.  In the early Middle Ages, between the 11th and 13th centuries, dozens of towers were built in Bologna, reaching more than 100. Bologna, at that time, appeared as a veritable “selva turrita”, a wild turreted city, like a modern-day Manhattan, but older by almost a millennium. Thus, the LA DOTTA Turrita fountain pen is a tribute to the history of Bologna and some of its most significant monuments from the medieval/renaissance ages.About SCRIBO: SCRIBO, short for Scrittura Bolognese, was founded by former employees of the retired OMAS brand. Fundamental values include writing tradition, design, craftsmanship, and made in Italy. Every working component of the fountain pen is handmade. The heart of every SCRIBO fountain pen is the gold nib. The classic 18-carat alloy and the special Extra-Flexible 14-carat alloy both offer elasticity, mechanical memory, and softness that highlights every fountain pen's writing quality.
