The famous name, Beretta , has been manufacturing the finest quality guns since the sixteenth century, a feat which lists them as one of the oldest manufacturing companies in the world.
Historical research has shown that in 1526, Mastro Bartolomeo Beretta of Gardone received 296 ducats as payment for 185 arquebus barrels sold to the Arsenal of Venice. As the Beretta name became known for uncompromising quality, design, materials, construction and performance, word spread beyond the Italian borders, establishing a lasting tradition that has carried on through fifteen generations of the Beretta family.
