Description:
An eBay purchase, I did not know until I got the machine that it had an Italian keyboard. The previous owner purchased it in Italy from an Olivetti dealer and it had not been used since 1969 but it has traveled the world extensively and shows quite a bit of wear. The machine was made in Italy. The typewriter came with no case, the pictured case is a substitution from another L22 I owned which severely bit the dust and has been recycled. It is interesting to note the key for + on the keyboard in fact prints $ instead...
