Inside the Benelli Shotgun Factory in Urbino, Italy
Inside the Benelli Shotgun Factory in Urbino, Italy
If I'd known the history of Benelli Arms, I wouldn't have been urprised. It was started only in 1967 by a family famous for making some of the world's finest motorcycles. But they also loved field sports, and guns. In 1967 they became intrigued by a revolutionary auto-loader design from engineer Bruno Civolani called the inertial release locking system. Forty years later they are a world leader in auto-loader production.

This would have been awesome if it was written as a full article. More detail is required to do this story justice!
I want to see more.
I am envious of Bob Marshall's trip. Quite the contrast between Urbino and Benelli. Ultra-modern factory, just like their guns. Would also like to see more.
FANUC Robotics - worked for them a ways back. Wish I could have run that project.
Show me more. I love Benelli shotguns and would love to tour Italy. You must give us more.
Semper Fi
Tremendous set of photographs. One of my Grandfathers was a gunsmith, who died in 1961, and my other was a tool and die maker/machinist in Detroit, who died in 1982. They would be absolutely amazed at the ability to do such quality work. Glad that Benelli allowed these picures to be taken for us to see.
Wow, that is a beautiful place to "HAVE" to go to work everyday....If only we all could be som lucky!
great pictures! i agree i would like to see more.
Just one question.... how do I get a job there?
F&S should put together a contest and send the top winners to tour the factory. As an engineer myself, I personally would love to see the factory and will definitely put it on the top of my list if I ever get to Italy.
That factory looks state of the art! I would love to see some video from it!
