Rizzini

• • Rizzini was founded in 1966 by Battista Rizzini in Marcheno, in the Brescia region of northern Italy (the Val Trompia, a historic guns-making area). 

  • The company remains family-run: Battista Rizzini is still involved along with his three children.

  • The brand emphasizes a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology.

• Manufacturing Philosophy

  • Their facility includes state-of-the-art CNC machines, a dedicated design and development studio, and a wood-department (for stocks and forends). 

  • Even with modern machinery, they maintain skilled gunsmiths and a “test tunnel” for pattern-testing shotguns in-house.

  • The company prides itself on being “100% Made in Italy”, combining precision machining with hand-finishing.

• Product Range Development

  • Rizzini has historically been quite versatile: they build over-under shotguns, side-by-side (“double”) shotguns, and combination guns (smoothbore + rifled barrels). 

  • They also make competition shotguns, including models for clays, trap, and small-gauge shooting.
