LA DOTTA Manuscribere

Writing as an investigation. Handwriting as revelation.

There is a moment when thought descends into the hand.

A fragile, intimate instant in which who we are settles onto the page.

It is there that the most authentic story begins: the story of ourselves.

This is the spirit behind LA DOTTA Manu Scribere, the new fountain pen created by SCRIBO for the fourth edition of the Manu Scribere Festival – the first Italian festival dedicated to handwriting – taking place in Bologna from September 19 to 21, 2025.

An invitation to slow down.

To feel.

To leave a sign.

The elegance of mindful writing.

LA DOTTA Manu Scribere belongs to the historic LA DOTTA collection, dedicated to the artisanal excellence of Bologna.

Handcrafted from solid-bar resin, it features the pantograph engraved official Festival logo and it is inspired by the event colour palette.

SCRIBO’s 18-carat gold nib or flexible 14-carat alloy nib lies at its heart, with ruthenium finishing matching all other metal details. It is available in 12 different nib sizes, to suit every gesture, every stroke, every personality.

Because every handwriting is unique. Just like you.

A gesture that tells who you are.

With the purchase of LA DOTTA Manu Scribere fountain pen, you can receive a personalized handwriting analysis, carried out by experts from the Italian Graphology Association (AGI).

To get your personalized handwriting analysis, simply write a text of your choice on a blank A4 sheet (no lines) and post to us by mail, including:

Nationality, age, gender, education, and job.

A small gesture. A revelation.

Writing is still an act of resistance.

In a world that moves too fast, handwriting is a radical act.

A return. A remedy.

It activates the brain, stimulates memory, and strengthens identity.

It’s a language that expresses not only what you think, but how you live. How you feel. How you exist.

For every fountain pen sold, SCRIBO will donate 8% of the revenues to AGI, supporting initiatives that promote and spread awareness of the importance of handwriting.

“Every curve, every stroke becomes a mirror reflecting our inner portrait. Writing is a visual language that also conveys the emotional and creative essence of the writer.”

— Guglielmo Incerti Caselli – President of AGI
