Beretta is foundedUnder Napoleon…
The history of Beretta started way back on May 5th 1812, confirmed by the action by which Carlo Antonio Beretta receives from his father the family business in the trading of cured pork meat and derivatives from it. Located in Barzanò in Brianza, Italy. This first official document demonstrates a passion that has been so for some time and that in two centuries, has been able to renew itself on a daily basis, maintaining Beretta’s unchanged values and keeping all their associates with them: as well as enthusiasm and dedication to their work.
