Scribo La Dotta Nimfea 219 limited edition fountain pen
Over 500 years ago Ulisse Aldrovandi was born in Bologna, a leading figure in modern science who is still considered a reference for contemporary Italian naturalists.
For the University of Bologna, he is the first scientist whose manuscripts, notes and letters are preserved: a treasure trove of information gathered by a man with a far-reaching curiosity.
Today, we owe our visual imagery of nature to Ulisse Aldrovandi and that first generation of naturalists. An imagery built on the tradition of nature illustrations, which perhaps nowhere as in Bologna saw such an extraordinary growth, and which would one day turn into the photographs and documentaries we all know.
Many of these flowers and plants studied and cataloged by Ulisse Aldrovandi can be seen today at the Botanical Garden of Bologna, which he himself founded in 1568 to provide students with a practical tool for cultivating and analyzing the plants treated during the lessons.
Nature never ceases to amaze us and every time we look at it we find a source of inspiration: our new fountain pens of LA DOTTA collection are dedicated to some of these flowers, Campanula Bononiensis and Ninfea (Water Lily).
