BERETTA DIANA

Beretta Diana Side-by-Side: History in the Making

The Beretta Diana side-by-side shotgun is an example of what can be achieved when no limit is placed on the gunmaker’s and engraver’s virtuosity: the result is much more than a work of art--it is nothing less than a part of gunmaking history. For this reason, the Diana is the absolute top of Beretta’s line, and it is crafted in very small quantities for the world’s most exclusive clientele.

To the outside, it features a superior-quality external-hammer action, with hundreds of hours of engraving by top artists who carry a living tradition going back to the time of Dante and Petrarch. To the inside, the Diana works like a custom-made watch, with every part lovingly fitted by hand by artisans who boast centuries-old father-son generations of Northern Italian gunmakers. In short, owning a Diana is like owning the modern equivalent of an original big-name Renaissance sculpture.
