Renaissance means rebirth, re-creation, or new beginning. It’s the perfect word to describe an innovative new line of over & under shotguns from Franchi. The family of Renaissance shotguns combines cutting-edge technology with super-light metal alloys and gel synthetics for effective recoil management in a handy, lightweight over & under shotgun.
LEFT The receiver of the Renaissance Elite over & under embodies all the skills of the Italian gunmaker’s craft, with fine engraving, gold embellishments, a stainless trigger guard, and gold-plated trigger. See specifications for engraving details.
CENTER On the Renaissance Field over & under shotgun, the receiver is engraved with a game scene and has a blued trigger guard and chrome-plated trigger. See specifications for engraving details.
RIGHT The receiver of the Renaissance Classic displays engraved game scenes with gold inlays on the left and right sides, a blued trigger guard, and a gold-plated trigger. See specifications for engraving details.
The left side of the receiver of the Franchi Renaissance Elite 12-gauge model depicts, in gold-engraving, a mallard landing.
On the right side of the receiver of the Renaissance Elite, a flushing pheasant is depicted in gold engraving.

The Franchi Renaissance over & under shotgun is a work of art. The receiver of each of these Franchi shotguns is precision machined from a solid billet of aluminum alloy, which is steel reinforced in critical areas. Extra material is removed, and the final product is an over & under 12-gauge shotgun that weighs an incredibly light 6 pounds. Until now, an over & under this light was unheard of because no lightweight alloys were strong enough to hold up to steady shooting without delivering punishing recoil. Now, however, Franchi engineers have developed an innovative Twin Shock-Absorber™ recoil pad with a special gel insert that absorbs up to 44-percent of the felt recoil.
Three models, the Renaissance Elite, Renaissance Classic, and Renaissance Field, have walnut stocks with classic Prince-of-Wales pistol grips, cut-checkering, and traditional oil finishes. They are available in 12-gauge and 20-gauge with either 26" or 28" barrels; and in 28-gauge with a 26" barrel. The Franchi Renaissance redefines the over & under shotgun with a blend of high-tech innovation and traditional design.
LEFT The Franchi Twin Shock Absorber™ (TSA) recoil pad features a special gel insert that can reduce felt recoil by as much as 44-percent. The TSA recoil pad is standard on the 20- and 28-gauge Renaissance shotguns.
LEFT CENTER The Renaissance sports a true Prince-of-Wales pistol grip with fine-cut checkering for an attractive and positive gripping surface.
RIGHT CENTER The top lever of the Renaissance Classic is blued, filigreed, and embellished with scroll engraving. Located behind the top lever is the multi-function safety, which serves as both barrel selector and safety.
RIGHT The fore-end latch on all Renaissance over & under shotgun models allows for easy disassembly and maintenance. The release lever features scroll engraving and is spring-loaded, retracting flush with the fore-end.
