Kim Slater wrote, "The Molosser Magazine which first appeared in 1981, was the provocative and courageous brainchild of Christofer Habig, an internationally renowned judge, who specializes in the Molosser breeds. Dedicated to promoting the documented history of the molosser breeds, MM went above and beyond the ordinary aspirations of most publications. It was relentless.....in its presentation of historical documentation; relentless in promoting ethical breeding; relentless in speaking out against abuses, even when it represented political suicide to do so; in short, MM was a publication unquestionably dedicated to the preservation and welfare of the molosser breeds.

This article was written originally in German and appeared in Issue 6, now obviously is a little of an old fashioned view in 2008, but remains an important and relevant insight and part of Mastino history."

Viva Napoli !!

Il Colosseo would like to extend it's gratitude to Lia De Vitale for giving us this story. It has been decades now that her husband, the legendary great Napolitan Mastinari Patrizio De Vitale has inspired the imagination of the world with many of his Mastini, and charisma known for impeccable attire, leather jackets, perfect hair and stylish shoes. His generosity was unequal, and his great legacy is his beautiful children.

There are too many great Mastini to name which he bred or owned, but one is at the top of the list in the Mastini world, and that is his grand champion Carnera Della Grotta Azzurra. Please read Il Colosseo exclusive by Lia De Vitale...

Il Colosseo is proud to bring you an exclusive by Giovanni Matronas of the world famed Allevamento Dello Stradone Vesuviano from Naples Italy.

A self portrait of the history "La Storia" of two Mastinari whom have captured the world, the ring, and have awed the Neapolitan World with incredible subjects. Il Colosseo would like to extend it's gratitude to Giovanni Matronas and Vincenzo Manna for this exclusive.
The history "La Storia" was writen in Italian and hope soon to have it available to members in both English and Spanish.
