In fact, in the year that has just begun, the company is preparing to celebrate 150 years of life: as specified in a press release, the past will be celebrated with a focus on the future "To enhance the hunting world". The historic milestone is not for everyone and Franchi has chosen to briefly tell the main facts that have characterized it from 1868 to today.
The foundation dates back to the Risorgimento period thanks to Luigi Franchi, to be precise in the Urbino headquarters. The specialization was immediately that of the processing and marketing of iron, a peculiarity that has transformed the company into a point of reference for hunting and defense weapons. The brand is part of the Beretta Group and the future is promising, even if all to be written.

The firearm at which the factory's production excels is undoubtedly the rifle, the latest news and other details on these 150 years will be announced on the occasion of theVicenza HIT Show, now getting closer and closer.
