The name Branchiero means "dog from Branco".
The height of the Branchiero male is 70 cm. (27,5 in) or slightly more, and the weight of the males reaches about 55 kg. (121 lbs).
The tail of the Branchiero is always cropped, and the coat is smooth, which is called "pelle raso"-smooth hair.
The construction of the dog is much the same as the Cane Corso for an untrained eye, but it differs slightly in the head, type and built.
In the late 1990's it existed about 40 pure Branchiero's of good type. The present situation for the breed is unknown for Molosserworld at this time.
