Olivetti made history, and have made the history of Italian design, the Letter 22 and Valentine. Both designed by designers of all respect, that Nizzoli 1950 1968 and Ettore Sottsass (put into production in 1969).

Two well-deserved success and could only be so because everything has been thought of in terms of a target and use very precise. Indeed Indro Montanelli could not have written with Valentine and vice versa a young blonde could not take to the beach a Letter 22 (experience comparable to the freedom offered to us today by our ipad compared to a previous laptop). And not surprisingly I say this because it is what the advertising suggested baked by commercial artists Olivetti.

The result of a coordinated system in which every professional figure was in his place (from architects to designers, to advertisers, to copy) only because at the top there was an enlightened entrepreneur, Adriano Olivetti, whose father, Camillo Olivetti, returning from a trip to San Francisco in 1908 he had designed and prototyped his first typewriter, the Olivetti M1.
