Franco's older brother, year-old Pietro, CEO of Beretta Holding, is married to an American, Gretchen Harnischfeger, architecture graduate of Princeton and Yale and a daughter of the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, makers of heavy mining equipment.

The couple who have a toddler, Maria Teresa have a house in Austria, just up the road, and are on the European must-invite lists. Umberta does the Milanese charity circuit and often graces the pages of Italy's fashion magazines. Their year-old son, Carlo, the 16th-generation scion about to enter university in Milan, is a New Yorker, born during Franco's and Umberta's years there. Franco's racy navy-blue Maserati Quattroporte--his favorite car--has just been moved out of the estate garages to a position in the courtyard, under the front steps of the villa.

It's a gleaming, perfect car, a couple of years old but all the more luxe for the favoritism that its owner shows it. At the edge of the drive are Umberta and Carlo, chatting about his upcoming entrance into university.

Tall, willowy, blonde, Umberta, 46, was born in Brescia but educated in Lausanne, Geneva, Rome and London, among other places. She's more or less a force of nature, or a force of nature in fashion, hitting the society pages and her blog umbertagnuttiberetta.

You cannot predict where the woman will show up. We do some of it here, but there just aren't as many charity functions, or really, causes. It's just not like that in Milan or Rome. Each generation of Berettas receives the gift--and the Herculean obligation that comes with it--of carrying the traditions forward in some way, either by consolidating what's been done or by making a bold advancement.

His second major contribution was his decision, 25 years ago, to begin the lifestyle branding of the company with tweedy shooting clothes and home accessories lines--very forward thinking for the late s.

Naturally, Dr. Gussalli Beretta's own firearms collection has a place of prominence in his office, with a gun case wall of his favorite shotguns and rifles to the left of his desk. Full disclosure: I've owned Beretta shotguns, most notably a pair of matched field-grade and gauge sporting clays guns, which I treasured for the year or two I had them.

Light, steady, easy to shoulder. You could put over a hundred rounds through them and they'd gladly take the work. Gussalli Beretta's passion is hunting birds over dogs with his shotguns, and he lights up immediately when I ask him what he likes to shoot.

Gussalli Beretta explains, "for the work and also for the financial side, for the decisions. No one person is more important than the family, but just one person must run it.

More reserved than his outgoing brother, Pietro plays the role of the equalizer. Over the course of the days I spent with the family, it's clear he cares about the group. Of course, Gardone and the factory are in my heart.
