Designed by the great architect Carlo Scarpa, the Olivetti showroom is a significant example of modern architecture located in one of the world’s most beautiful squares, piazza San Marco in Venice.
The wealth of details and decorative elements designed by Carlo Scarpa and made by Venetian master artisans makes this building a priceless document: the colourful mosaic flooring, central stone staircase, wooden furnishings, furniture and windows are a demonstration of unequivocable historical value and unique quality. The showroom conserves a priceless collection of typewriters and calculators made by Olivetti.
