TIMELESS
BEAUTY
Creating something original, capable of generating and preserving value over time, is the result of a process rooted in a vision that combines creativity, beauty, and functionality. This principle has always guided our work, fueled our passion, and made Zoli recognizable worldwide. It is within this context that the “ROMA” project was born, designed for refined enthusiasts constantly in search of exclusive products characterized by unique and inimitable qualities. The “ROMA” model, due to its exclusivity, is produced in limited annual editions and can only be found in our selected retail locations. “Roma” is a model that celebrates the past through the most iconic historical figure, now a legend: Julius Caesar.
GIULIO CESARE
Born in Rome on July 12, 100 BC, and assassinated in the same city on March 15, 44 BC, played a fundamental role in the transition of Rome's government from the Republic to the Empire. He was appointed dictator of Rome starting in late 49 BC, again in 47 BC and 46 BC with a ten-year mandate, and from February 44 BC as dictator perpetuo. For this reason, Suetonius considered him the first of the twelve Caesars, a term that later became synonymous with Roman emperor.


THE COLOSSEUM
It remains one of the largest amphitheaters in the world, capable of holding between 50,000 and 87,000 spectators. In the past, it was used for gladiatorial contests and other public events, such as naval battles, hunts, reenactments of historical battles, and dramas based on classical mythology. Included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1980, in 2007, following a competition organized by the New Open World Corporation (NOWC), it was also named one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World.”

S.P.Q.R.
Sacred to Jupiter, the father of all gods, the eagle represented the supremacy of the Roman emperor, who, as the commander of the army and pontifex maximus, embodied absolute power. S.P.Q.R. On both sides of the frame, the eagle occupies a prominent position, as it was a sacred emblem highly revered by soldiers, symbolizing the entire legion. The eagle, known as the “Aquila Legions,” was exclusively bestowed by the Senate or the emperor upon the establishment of a legion.

TRIGGER MECHANISM
The firing system includes relief valves in case of accidental primer piercing. The barrels are silver soldered, which not only reduces micro-vibrations during shooting by 90%, but also provides unparalleled welding quality and consistent impact points over time. The locking system features a robust Boss-type bolt that engages with the tenons located on the barrel.

THE HISTORY
OF A FAMILY AND ITS
PASSION FOR FINE GUNS
Our modern history finds its roots in the historical and cultural context of the post-World War II period. Possessed with the creative entrepreneurial spir- it that marks Italian people from the Brescia area, Antonio Zoli played an active part in the rebuilding stages fol- lowing the war events that so disrupt- ed the valley of the river Mella. Despite the incredible challenges posed by the times, Antonio did not hesitate to do all he needed to do to restart his compa- ny, taking the first steps for a business that would soon project his name, and now the Antonio Zoli brand, on the markets around the world. Antonio Zoli was born to Giuseppe in 1905 in Magno, a small village (hamlet of Gar- done Val Trompia) home to several fa- mous gunsmithing families. Since the 14th Century, Magno had been a high- ly respected center of gun production, supplying arms to the governments of Venice, Piedmont and Naples. Its repu- tation was comparable to that of bigger towns like Marcheno and Lumezzane. From archival research, the Zoli family was already active in Magno in 1490, where they were involved with the local artisan scene. In the first decades of the 15th Century, the Zoli family was sup- plying the early arquebus makers, mas- ters of rare craftsmanship, in the man- ufacturing of firearms. In the following centuries, the activity of the Zoli family consolidated even more, so much so that in the early 1800s Giovanni Zoli was working as a renowned maker of best quality gunlocks. Proof of his activity is found in 1845 with an exquisite muz- zle-loading pistol featuring the family logo, a symbol of the enterprising spirit and determination that the valley de- veloped through the centuries. Reading through the history of the Zoli family is like reading through the history of Italian gunmaking in the Val Trompia
region, famous the world over for fine gunmaking today. Captivated by the appeal of the valley and possessing the strong passion for building guns and precision mechanisms inherited by his father, Antonio Zoli started his career during the war collaborating with and supplying the main gun companies in the area. But in October 1945, as soon as the war was over, he officially re-started his own business transforming it to one of the most relevant industrial activities in the area. The company structure was further de- fined with the contribution of Giuseppe, Antonio’s son, who provided further impulse in terms of product quality and market recognition. The incessant appreciation shown through the years by loyal customers is the best endorsement to Zoli’s work, as well as their formal presence on mar- kets all over the world. The feel for tra- ditions of a family business, now in its third generation, has managed to adapt constantly to technological innovations without altering the love a craftsman feels for the products they manufacture.
