Description:
Later Lettera 32 model with Baltea typeface, 10 cpi, and Italian keyboard layout. Came in without the carrying case and with the carriage lock lever broken (but the mechanism still works). The paper support arm is bent forward, and the typebar lock mechanism doesn't always engage on the right margin stop. It has been cleaned and adjusted to my ability, and the missing soundproofing felt has been added to the body.
Acquired Dec. 2025

Based in Italy. It all started with my father's Lettera 32 and my bad, bad handwriting on mail addresses.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Lettera 32 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Lettera 32 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
