The Cornella Bianca is an Italian breed of domestic sheep from the Apennines of Emilia–Romagna in central Italy.[3] It is raised principally in mountainous parts of the provinces of Bologna, Modena and Reggio Emilia, where it is transhumant. Some are also raised in the plains around Ferrara, Rovigo and Vicenza.[4]:206[5]:53 It is found particularly in the comuni of Minerbio, Baricella and Malalbergo in the province of Bologna and Argenta in the province of Ferrara.[5]:53
