The Cane Corso Italiano: Past, Present and Future Hardcover – November 28, 2025

No breed in modern times has experienced anything near the meteoric rise of the Cane Corso Italiano: Teetering on the brink of extinction in its ancestral homeland of Southern Italy as recently as the 1970s, today the Cane Corso is stratospherically popular around the world, not least of all in the United States, where it is the nation’s 14th most popular breed.Equally as stunning as the Corso’s dizzying proliferation in a relative eyeblink of time is the fact that there is no contemporary English-language book dedicated to it — and so no authoritative information on a breed that has captured the hearts and imagination of so many.That is, until now.The Cane Corso Italiano: Past, Present and Future by respected all-breed judge Claudio De Giuliani of Italy is a treasure box of interviews, photographs, commentary, anecdotes, historical documents, graphics and diagrams covering everything you want to know — and likely didn’t know — about this impressive Italian Molosser. Sharing the voices those who were actually there during the Corso’s historic recovery period, De Giuliano shares in-depth information on the breed’s history, traditional uses, folklore, breed standard, pedigrees, training methods, rearing, breeding, working trials, health and much, much more.Translated from the Italian-language edition that was published to great acclaim in 2022, this 500-plus-page hardcover is a must-have for any true Cane Corso fancier.
