Looks like junk designed in San Fransisco to me....
The CEO's at Beretta must have lost their damn minds.

....the wood surrounding the receiver. Beautiful and difficult to do. Bar in wood guns and island locks have long been considered some of the most attractive attributes on a SxS.... Looking at this gun though, the inletting does not look very complicated. It appears to be simple machine cuts with no fine details to fit up.

Don't like the shape of that lever. Anybody else turned off by it?
Just too different for my taste. I could picture a Westley richards style fitting right in though. Very nice looking gun in "Porsche Design" king of way. I would be thankful to anyone bringing out new SxS at affordable price especially from warm and wonderful place like Italy.

PS. People pay lot of money for new Merkel SxS shotguns and in terms of aesthetics those guns are truly horrendous. There is no doubt unless one is talking classic Mauser sporters or hideous multi-barrel complexities when it comes to guns Italians do far, far better job than Germans.

I doubt if I would ever buy one, but if I found it under the Christmas tree, I would shoot it without apology or excuses. What's the price, btw?

Who is this Marc guy and what is connection with Beretta or the gun? Here's his website: http://www.marc-newson.com/Default.aspxApparently Beretta sought him out based on his track record of simplistic smooth-flowing cutting-edge design that earned him his reputation.

I like the it....except the lever. I think a side lever would have been nice.

I like it! It's not for me but it's cool.Beretta is looking for something different..New..It's hard to keep selling the same thing everyday and not have something different to show.I wish that they would have picked out another style engraving other than that Asian snake look.
Different for sure!
