Gardone, Val Trompia is where all the Italian gunsmiths live. Beretta, Perazzi, Renato Gamba et al. They all have worked for one another and often guns made in this area are a combined effort with different smiths building different parts of the gun.
Most of the guns coming out of this area are excellent quality. Zoli has built guns for a variety of importers over the years.
Rovert your friend should get a subscription to "Double Gun Journal" and look through the index. I am sure there has been an article or two on Zoli.
