Typewriter model “OLYMPIA Werke West GMBH Wilhelmshaven”, owned by Licio Gelli (Pistoia, 21 April 1919 – Arezzo, 15 December 2015) Length 28.00 cm; Width 31.00 cm; weight approximately 5.50 kg Famous and iconic typewriter produced in 1954 in West Germany. The car, an SM 2, bears production number 227374. It has a distinctive sage green paint job with chrome trim and detailing. Technically it was a front-service type lever machine with a four-row universal keypad and body shift. This object, which belonged to Licio Gelli, was initially seized from the Venerable Master on 17 May 1981 in his home in Arezzo, as is still evidenced by the typewritten tag by the judicial police, complete with cord and original lead seal. Once opened and inspected, the black ink ribbon was removed from the machine for investigative purposes. Several documents recovered during that operation were typed with this machine, including the famous secret lists of the Lodge called “Propaganda 2”. Once the investigative needs had ceased, the object was released from seizure and returned to Lawyer Elio Vaccari as special attorney for Licio Gelli, who jealously guarded it until his death.
