History

Benelli Armi was founded as a limited company [S.p.A.] in 1967. The original idea, dating back to 1940, first came to the Benelli brothers, owners of the famous Benelli motorcycle factory in Pesaro.

The Benelli brothers did not just have a vocation for precision mechanics, they were also passionate about hunting, and believed that the evolution of hunting shotguns lay with repeating firearms. This project saw the light thanks to the valid support of Bruno Civolani, a brilliant designer from Bologna, who was able to define a revolutionary concept in firearms.

Civolani’s design led to the creation of an extraordinary hunting shotgun that replaced the traditional gas-operated mechanism with an inertia-driven system, with all of the mechanism concentrated in the bolt and the fastest reloading system in the world: 5 shots in less than a second.

Benelli is a thriving and growing company that continues to invest in research and design: new, cutting-edge, high-tech products that, over the years, have contributed to boosting the prestige and spread of the Benelli name in the target and hunting weapons market, also thanks to the strategic decision to offer what is now considered to be the widest range of semiautomatic firearms available on today’s market.

In 1983, Benelli was acquired by Beretta.
