since coming to the USA in the late 80's the dog is very rare to the point of extinction there are look alikes but getting one is not easy u have to put in a AP to aquire one and most require u to have aleast 1 ac of land but here is some history on them

http://www.romancanecorso.com/images/transparent.gifhttp://www.romancanecorso.com/images/titles/history_gen_info.gifhttp://www.romancanecorso.com/images/transparent.gifThe Cane Corso is a large working dog who decends from the ancient Roman Molossus. Native to Italy they now represent a modern day continuation of war dogs that were sometimes pitted against lions and other wild beasts in ancient Roman arenas. These Molossian Mastiffs were in great demand as war dogs and household guardians for generations to come. Throughout the breeds existence, the cane corso were used as big game hunters. Their power, courage, agility and tracking ability made them especially valuable with wild boar, stag and bear. With the decline in big game hunting the cane corso found a home with Italian farmers. They were often used as a driver, moving animals to the market and to the slaughter houses. On the farms they protected the livestock from both human thieves and animal predators, also doubling as a guard dog for homes and estates. With the transformation of the agricultural structure in many regions of Italy, this majestic dog was in danger of extinction. However, with the help of some skillful and caring dog lovers in the mid 1970's success was made in procuring as many good subjects as possible. Selective breeding began and the cane corso was given a new birth.
