The engravings are entirely hand-drawn and hand-made and feature subjects dedicated to each caliber. Common to all the semiautomatics that make up the Set of Five is the decoration consisting of alcune oak leaves and acorns acorns with rose gold embossed bezels. The splendid hunting scenes depicted on both sides of these rifles are also breathtaking. For the two 12-gauge semiautos, the theme chosen is that of waterfowl hunting, where on lagoon vegetation, some ducks rushing towards the sky fly away on the horizon. For the two 20-gauge shotguns, the proposed theme is that of pheasant hunting, while the smallest 28 gauge, depicting works dedicated to hunting the smallest of the phasianids, the quail, are represented.
The mechanics of the Magnifico Set of Five are entrusted to the classic Benelli inertial system with rotating head closure, developed by the Bolognese Bruno Civolani and used for the first time on the Montefeltro in 1983., with mechanical parts also finished manually. Enjoy watching the trigger guard inspired by the golden section, symbol of perfect harmony of shapes, which is found not only in works by Leonardo Da Vinci, but also to recall the shape of the helical staircase of the Torricini of the Ducal Palace of Urbino, yet another tribute to the city.
