Where Is Serial Number On Necchi Sewing Machine? 
It’s difficult to mention a specific part on the Necchi sewing machine to find the serial number. Depending on the Necchi model, you can find it under the sewing machine or directly at the front. Some models also have their serial number hidden on the base or cabinet.
Where Is Necchi Sewing Machine Made?
Necchi was founded in Italy, but the brand now manufactures from Asia. They have factories in Thailand and Taiwan, as the sewing machines were made in Southeast Asia when Janome owns Necchi. 
Therefore, if your Necchi sewing machine was made in the 1920s to 1960s, you can expect that it was made in Italy. 
On the other hand, old models from the 1970s to 1980s are thought to be made in Japan. While Janome-made Necchi sewing machines are also of good quality, the award-winning design and craftsmanship of the Necchi sewing machines are credited to those made in Italy...


Searching the age of Necchi sewing machines based on the serial number is quite difficult, below are most of the models and production dates; some information is unknown, if you have any knowledge you can write it in the comments:

    I purchased a Necchi Lelia 514 (pink) in an auction lot. It says, "Made in Italy" on the front plate and has "Italy 26102" stamped underneath the machine.

    Thanks for this great info. Where does the 802 fit in time-wise? Mine says made in Japan.

    1. Necchi Superautomatic 802 sewing machine;
      I wouldn't be able to say anything specific about that sewing machine, I find it especially interesting that it was made in Japan. Perhaps it is a machine of a relatively recent production date compared to those mentioned in the above tables.
