Beretta are celebrating 500 years, 1526 - 2026!

Smoke drifts across the field. Steel clashes. The first echoes of gunfire begin to redefine the rules of war. At Pavia, history shifted, marking the moment when firearms rose to prominence, forever changing the course of combat.

Just one year later, in 1526, Bartolomeo Beretta’s receipt would mark the beginning of a legacy destined to endure. A story born in Lombardy, where craftsmanship, innovation, and destiny first converged - and where that same spirit continues to this day.

Five centuries later, that moment lives on - etched in steel, preserved in time.

1526: THE FIRST SPARK

The expertise and vision of Bartolomeo Beretta allowed the business to rise above the competition and establish themselves as leaders in the field.
