[3] Revelli spent multiple years developing a prototype before patenting his design to Società Siderurgica Glisenti of Turin.

[2] The Glisenti company acquired the machinery to begin production from the United Kingdom in 1906 but sold the manufacturing rights to Metallurgica Brescia già Tempini.

[2] The Model 1906 failed to impress the Royal Italian Army and was requested to fire a round similar to the German 9×19mm Parabellum.

[5] The Brixia had a strengthened frame and removed the grip safety but was not a big enough improvement to make a change in the Royal Italian Army.

[5] The Brixia was later to be sold to the civilian market but the outbreak of World War I led to the cancellation of the project.

[5] In increasing numbers from 1916 onward, the Glisenti began to be phased out by the Spanish produced Ruby pistol[4] and Beretta M1915.
