 Certain enthusiasts such as Paolo Breber rediscovered dogs in the 1970s that were more similar to the previous Molosso and turned this into a breed today called Cane Corso, which today is also a little different from its beginnings.In the 21st century, other enthusiasts were not satisfied with the Neapolitan Mastiff or the Cane Corso, and are reportedly trying to restore Molosso Italiano.The project is called Cane da Presa Meridionale ("Southern Catch Dog") and is supposedly focused on breeding healthy and functional dogs that represent the 1950s Mastino breed standard.
