Marcello Nizzoli - Olivetti, Lettera 32 - Typewriter - 1960-1970

Olivetti Lettera 32 typewriter. This typewriter, made over fifty years ago, is still functional and equipped with the typing ribbon. The Lettera 32 marked a historic milestone in the evolution of Italian design. Its dimensions are 9 x 30 x 35 cm. It is housed in its original case, easily portable. The weight is about 4 kg. Signs of wear on the hinge of the portable case latch, which nonetheless closes perfectly, and natural wear from the passage of time over the years. In its case there is a sheet of instructions released following maintenance, I believe in the mid-1980s. The item belongs to my family and was used by my father to write his thesis in the 1970s.
