This Olivetti Lettera DL was made in Ivrea, Italy around 1966-67 — an elegant De Luxe restyling by Ettore Sottsass, built on the beloved Lettera 32 platform. Compact, reliable, and featuring more modern, boxy lines than the Lettera 32, it continues the same design lineage favored by countless writers. Francis Ford Coppola, for example, used this model while working on The Godfather film.

This machine has an Qzerty (Italian) layout, including keys for "è", "é", "ç", "à", "ù", "ì", "ò". Please check the keyboard photos for special symbols.

The classic Olivetti Pica is a timeless serif typeface with elegant, highly readable letterforms. It produces crisp, refined text that is perfect for letters, journals, and everyday writing.

This machine is in very good cosmetic condition, showing some very small marks on the exterior. Please pay close attention to the listing photos. All keys, margins, line spacing, and ribbon functions operate properly. Basic cleaning and adjustments have been performed to ensure a smooth and responsive typing experience. A carrying bag, showing wear consistent with age, is available as an add-on for this typewriter. A new ribbon has been installed, and fresh ribbons can be purchased separately.
