The AKC recognized the Cane Corso in 2010 as part of the Working Group.

Before this point, they were a rare breed and were unknown outside of Southern Italy. The first Cane Corso import came to the United States in 1988. Thanks to the efforts of some Italian breeders in the 1970s, the breed held on, was revived, and started showing in European dog shows during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The breed almost went extinct in the 20th century. But, invasion, war, and the industrial revolution made them less popular. Once they were no longer Roman war dogs at the dissolution of the Western Roman Empire during the fifth century, Cani Corsi were commonly used as guard dogs and to hunt big game. The Italian Mastiff and the Neapolitan Mastiff are descendants of these dogs. When Roman legions brought mollosers back to Italy from the Greek islands and bred them with native Italian dog breeds. Like other mastiff breeds, Cani Corsi can trace their ancestry back to the molossus-type Greek guard dogs and the dogs the Romans used in warfare.
