Strong roots

1526. Maestro Bartolomeo Beretta from Gardone provides 185 harquebus barrels to the Arsenal of the Republic of Venice. “Pietro Beretta Selection” is the infinitely customizable firearms collection, which keeps alive the great tradition initiated over 500 years ago, a closely guarded and precious secret, born within the walls of the family-owned forge. The past has now become present, where tradition  and innovation are blending together to create a new future.

The transformation

Pietro Beretta Selection” bears the name of Pietro, who in 1903 took over the company from his father Giuseppe Antonio, renovating the factories and starting the large-scale production of firearms. However, if we step back in time, it is during the Renaissance period and its discoveries in art, thought and technology that Beretta’s uniqueness flourished. It was its vast mercantile network and international relations through Venice that constituted its early fortune.

Sixteen generations, the same values
