The engineer Camillo Oliver was 40 years old when he started the company in 1908.　 At his factory in Ivrea, he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter(打字机). Today the company's head office is still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world.

By 1930 the company had 700 workers and it turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some went to offices and homes in Italy, but more typewriters were sold to other countries.

Camillo's son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. The production(生产) line was improved a lot and some top engineers in technology and design fields worked for him. The company developed new and better typewriters. More and more people became interested in their products. In 1959 it produced the ELEA computer system. This was the first mainframe(主机) computer designed and made in Italy.

After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial(财政) problems. Other companies, especially the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company.

In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marketing and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce better office equipment(设备). Soon it became one of the world's leading companies in information technology and communications. There are now five companies in the Olivetti group---one for personal computers, one for other office equipment, one for systems and services, and two for telecommunications.

1.What fact does the passage provide?

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his dad when he was seven. His family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local food in France.
