AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This particular model was produced and marketed primarily throughout the 1970s and for a good part of the 1980s.
Here are some interesting details about the piece you have in front of you:
The Design: It was designed by the renowned architect and designer Mario Bellini (together with a team that included Macchi Cassia, Pasini and Pasqui). The idea was to create a robust machine with a more solid and professional look compared to the previous portables.
The Mechanics: Under the beige metal body hides the same mechanical heart as the legendary Lettera 32 from 1963, which makes it a true writing workhorse—reliable and precise.
The Case: From the photo you can see its classic original black rigid plastic case (complete with carrying handle), which was indeed part of the standard equipment of this first version.
