Beretta M1951 maple grips - La Piovra / hand-painted

Style features

La Piovra (English: The Octopus) is a landmark Italian television crime drama series about the Sicilian Mafia, airing on RAI from 1984 to 2001 across 10 seasons and 48 episodes. The title symbolizes the Mafia's far-reaching "tentacles" infiltrating politics, business, finance, and society. Starring Michele Placido as heroic police inspector Corrado Cattani, it follows intense battles against corruption, power struggles, assassinations, and international networks. Directed by masters like Damiano Damiani and featuring Ennio Morricone's iconic score, La Piovra drew massive audiences (up to 15 million viewers) and became one of Italy's most exported and acclaimed series worldwide—often called the Italian Godfather for its gritty realism, moral depth, and unflinching portrayal of organized crime's violence and heartlessness

Why wood, not G10 or micarta?

Wood offers greater comfort, warmth, and aesthetic satisfaction. Wood is lighter and more pleasant to hold. Wooden grips are best suited for customization and hand finishing. Or perhaps made from G10 and micarta. Why not?
