My dad speaks fondly of his time at Olivetti. He was a UMich EE grad from Lebanon. Through some chance encounters he had met some Olivetti execs who sent him a TELEX to his home in Lebanon offering him a job in Ivrea, which he took given that it was on the eve of the Lebanese Civil War (~1975). The rest is history...
