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

Olivetti Lettera 32, portable Italian typewriter, model introduced in 1963 and characterized by the design of Marcello Nizzoli, one of the leading figures of Italian industrial design of the 20th century. This model has serial number 2941809 and is datable to 1967, with Italian production in Ivrea. The turquoise blue/green color is fully functional: keyboard, carriage and mechanisms are operational. There are some normal signs of wear and use appropriate to the age of the item, which do not compromise either the overall aesthetic or the proper functioning of the machine. The typewriter comes with original accessories, including: - the Olivetti Lettera 32 manual/instructions - the brush set for cleaning with its red container - the original, usable case, but it shows evident signs of wear and deterioration, particularly along some edges and corners, as clearly visible in the photos. The Lettera 32 enjoyed widespread adoption among journalists, writers and students, thanks to its compact size and portable nature. Today this model is particularly suitable for collectors of typewriters and Olivetti objects, enthusiasts of 20th-century Italian design, vintage furniture and retrofuturism, but also for those who want a mechanical machine that is truly usable for writing. Dimensions: 30 cm wide, 32 cm long, 8 cm high. Weight 5.4 kilograms.
