Benelli Armi S.p.A. was formed in 1967, based on an idea from the Benelli brothers in 1940, who were convinced that the future of hunting shotguns lay with semi-automatic models. This idea became reality when designer, Bruno Civolani, invented a revolutionary action. Civolani's design led to the creation of a hunting shotgun that used a simple inertia driven mechanism in place of a conventional gas operated system.
