Description:
Designed by the Italian architect Marcello Nizzoli in collaboration with engineer Guiseppe Beccio, the Olivetti-Underwood Studio 44's special feel, a perfectly calibrated resistance that marks the typing action; not to mention a stability that's close to what you'd get from a standard, are qualities that are pretty hard to beat. And as an example of Nizzoli's sculptural stylistic signature, the Studio 44 is a true design statement. Made in Barcelona, Spain.
For me, way up there both in aesthetics and typing action.

In a parallel universe, I was once the Senior Vice-President of Design (Typewriter Division) at Ing. C. Olivetti & C.,S.p.A., Ivrea, Italy. In the real universe, I'm a Chicago-based casual collector and hunter of Olivetti typewriters, and related ephemera, publications, and film sightings.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Studio 44 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Studio 44 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
