Olivetti had a number of iconic products both from a technological and design perspective.
My favorites (in addition to the Programma 101) was the Divisumma calculator and the Valentine typewriter.

(Also a beautiful machine.) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivetti_Lettera_22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivetti_Lettera_22
