In Marcheno, in Valtrompia, beating heart of the Italian gunmaking tradition, Stefano Contessa set up a small business in 1974, operating in the field of small precision mechanical parts, putting his professional skills to good use. Over the years, his sons Alessandro and Andrea, who had grown up in their father’s workshop, learned the tricks of the trade and the importance of performing work in a workmanlike manner. The imprinting given by their father allows them to produce mechanical parts of high precision and quality, combining tradition with technological innovation. In the early 2000s, Contessa decided to use their experience to develop their own product with patented mechanics: Simple Black, Contessa’s first line of scope mounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ambition, stubbornness and countless hours of work have led a small, family-run workshop to develop into a fully-fledged, globally competitive company. The finesse and quality that have always distinguished Contessa’s workmanship have made their products unique and inimitable, with perfect design and mechanics.<\/span><\/p>\n
