Our hearts are filled with joy and gratitude for everyone who has contributed to making this anniversary so special.
The spark that Bartolomeo Beretta ignited in his forge in 1526 still burns today, carried forward by 16 generations of workers, partners, suppliers, dealers, shooters, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts who have helped build the Beretta name through centuries of history, innovation, and challenges. We have thanked them throughout 2026, and we thank them once again today.
But our warmest thanks go to you: whether you own a Beretta product that has been passed down through generations or one acquired only recently; whether you have been part of our story for a lifetime or have just discovered our brand.

Beretta lovers, new and lifelong alike, you are the reason we are still here, 500 years later.
You inspire us to keep innovating, improving, and striving every day to create products and experiences worthy of the trust you place in us.
Five centuries are not simply a milestone. They are a responsibility. Each generation has inherited a legacy built by those before it and carried the duty to pass it on stronger, more relevant, and better prepared for the future.
That is why we see this anniversary not as a celebration of the past, but as a commitment to the future. Preserving what matters, innovating with courage, and remaining true to our values.
This philosophy has guided Beretta since 1526 and continues to inspire our choices today.
From Gardone Val Trompia to the world, thank you for being part of our history.
