Cannons and a grand welcome at Ragley HallThe UK has long been one of Beretta’s most important international markets, and Ragley Hall provided a suitably grand stage. “Standing at Ragley Hall to mark 500 years of our family’s journey is profoundly humbling,” Carlo said. Who was at the Beretta 500th anniversary galaThe guest list reflected the breadth of Beretta’s reach across sport and countryside life. “It was an absolute privilege to host this historic gala alongside Lord Hertford at Ragley Hall,” said Ali Angus, managing director at GMK. What happens next in Beretta’s anniversary yearThe Ragley Hall gala may prove to be one of the high points of the anniversary year, but attention now turns to 3 October itself, with talk of a major celebration planned in Rome to mark the moment Beretta completes its first 500 years and begins its sixth century.
