One of the most appraised typwriters, the Lettera 22 was designed by Marcello
Nizzolli a skilled painter, graphic artist, architect, industrial designer and
exhibit architect. The Lettera 22 is part of many design museums collection.

- In 1952 New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) added graphic and industrial
design to its fields of interest. Olivetti was chosen for the first monographic
exhibition in the same year. Nizzoli’s Lettera 22 and Lexikon 80 typewriters
have since resided in the permanent collection of the MoMA (NY, NY).

And was famously used by Leonard Cohen who wrote:
“My Old Flame: An olive green Olivetti 22 portable typewriter, with black keys
and white letters. I bought it in London for forty pounds in 1959. It’s the
same typewriter I used for my first book and my best works.”
