 History of the Cane Corso - AICC
In 1998 the A.I.C.C. or "Associazione Italiana Cane Corso" published a study on the race which brought to light the military use of the "Cane Corso" in 1137 in Montopoli di Sabina (near Rome), the finding of kennels from the period and the close links between the race and Roman history.
The "Cane Corso", which we can admire today is the best evidence of the theory which sustains that when a race exhibits certain morphological and behavioral characteristics relating to the work it is required to do, then that race shows harmony of form and balanced character.
The "Corso" has conserved from its ancestors the "Molossi" of Epiro and the "pugnaces" of Rome, used in war and for fighting in the circus, the aggressive and combative nature necessary for successfully reaching its goal, with no hesitation and with surprising potential force.

 Gregory Corso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gregory Corso (March 26, 1930 – January 17, 2001) was an American poet, the fourth member of the canon of Beat Generation writers (with Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs).
Gregory Corso's first volume of poetry was privately published in 1955 (with the assistance of associates at Harvard, where he had been auditing classes): The Vestal Lady on Brattle and other poems.
If Ginsberg, Kerouac, and Burroughs were the Three Musketeers of the movement, Corso was their D'Artagnan, a sort of junior partner, accepted and appreciated, but with less than complete parity.

 APPRECIATION / Poet Was Ever a Subversive Spirit / Gregory Corso despised pretension
Corso, who died of prostate cancer on Wednesday night at a medical center near his daughter's home in Minnesota, was one of the last of the original Beats, the generation of gifted, astonishingly original writers who first met in New York City in the late 1940s.
Corso's best-loved books are "The Happy Birthday of Death" and "Herald of the Autochthonic Spirit." His collected poems were published in a single volume, "Mind Field," in 1989.
Corso was perhaps the least known of the Beat group, in part because he despised any sort of pomp or pretension.

 Cane Corso Preservation Society   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The holding bite of Cane Corso is due to powerful jaw and the mental state of the dog shutting off external stimuli rather than its undershot jaw which is a malformation caused by malfunction.
But pure bred Cane Corso has never show true prognathous jaws in which the whole set of upper teeth is staggered with respect of the lower set and there is a gap between the upper and lower incisors when the mouth is shut.
This is confirmed from the diverse testimonies recorded during and at the “Convegno di Civitella Alfredena sul Cane Corso” (The Cane Corso Congress of Civitella Alfredena) and by diverse video clips done by ENCI judges before the rebirth and recognition of the breed.
