About this title

From the Author

1st book on the subject for the American market
THE ITALIAN GUN is the first book written on the subject of gunmaking in Italy specifically for the American shotgunner and gun enthusiast. It was an extensive research that's paid off in comprehensive content as well as stunning appearance -- the publisher, Wilderness Adventure -- did a terrific job in publishing a beautiful book that features some of the finest b/w and color photographs of firearms published ANYWHERE. The graphics augment a text that begins with the history of gunmaking and focuses on the present-day gunmakers and their art. Steve Bodio, considered one of the best -- if not THE best -- outdoor book reviewer wrote: "An astonsihing book -- not just the best possible introduction to Italian guns, but one of the best books on gun's I've ever seen." High praise indeed. THE ITALIAN GUN has the facts, figures, charts -- everything you'd look for in a thorough work; but most especially, it introduces you to the people who have followed their fathers and fathers before them in a centuries-old trade that was born in the Valley of the Triumplini, Val Trompia, under the shadow of the Italian Alps.
