Description:
Later Studio 44 model with Elite Book typeface, 12 cpi, and Italian keyboard layout. The symbol on the type slugs is "84", which is sometimes referenced as Bodoni or Congress 84. It came in with the wood carrying case and in working condition, but aesthetically, it is pretty battered. The return spring of the carriage lever broke during use, but it does not affect the machine's usability.
It has been cleaned and adjusted to my ability.
Acquired Mar. 2025

Based in Italy. It all started with my father's Lettera 32 and my bad, bad handwriting on mail addresses.
