Description:
Designed by Marcello Nizzoli. He was the chief designer for Olivetti for many years and besides of many product designs he created graphical work for the marketing department and was responsible as architect for the buildings of the company. For the design of the Olivetti Lettera 22 he was awarded with the Compasso d'Oro in 1954.
Great office typewriter with some useful features, heavy, full metall , precise mechanics. I like it. This is a power machine.

Collector with typewriter virus living in Austria. Fourty years ago typewriters were only standard office equipment for me. I was really glad to get my first but simple word processors in the early Eighties with delete, copy/paste and whatever wonderful functions. This fascination is over. Now I have returned to real mechanics.
