About this experience
The factory was founded in 1526 when Bartolomeo Beretta sold the Venetian Republic the first batch of 153 arquebus barrels. Since then, the Beretta family has been continuing the business of their enterprising ancestor for 15 generations. I invite you to the famous factory, Beretta villa, and a unique private museum. Let's delve into the history of the most famous Italian weapons!
What to expect
Beretta Villa
Let's start the tour at the 4-story eclectic-style building, where the Beretta family used to live and which now houses the company's headquarters. We will explore spacious halls, examine the collection of cars produced by the enterprise in the 60s and 70s of the 20th century. We will see a boat for duck hunting with built-in weapons and sights, study samples of super-modern sports rifles for clay pigeon shooting.
Gun Factory
Accompanied by an experienced employee, we will walk through the automated production workshops. You will learn about the company's origins and how they manufacture high-precision rifles and revolvers. You will have the opportunity to talk to the factory's staff and administration.

Here, you will find a unique collection of 14,000 units of antique and modern weapons, including replicas made to private orders for the guards of Gaddafi, George Bush Sr., and Arab sheikhs.
