Many 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).
A mother-of-pearl and iridescent lilac of the Campanula reminds us of the bell-shaped flowers, one species of which has been given a name linked to our city.
A grey/blue with lilac streaks of the Ninfea, on the other hand, reminds us of those aquatic plants with their roots anchored in the earth at the bottom of ponds that suddenly reveal their floating flowers.
