The old-Timers
The following are pictures of Cane Corsi that we have encountered while in Italy, or photos provided by the owners of the pictures. This page deals with some of the men who where at the center of the recovery of the Cane Corso. Because of there dedication to preserving the breed, there are Corsi in the world today. We will be returning to Italy this spring where we hope to gather more information and pictures of these very important figures
