The Bionda dell'Adamello is an indigenous
Adamello-Presanella subsection of the Rhaetian Alps. It is raised mainly in the Val Camonica, the Val Saviore and the mountains of Brescia; some are found in neighbouring areas of the provinces of Bergamo to the west and Trento to the east.[2] It was in the past known simply as the Capra Bionda or as the Mustàscia.[2]
History
The breed appears to be of ancient origin. While it shares some characteristics with the Swiss
Second World War. A painting from about 1760 by the Milanese painter Francesco Londonio (1723–1786) shows a goat of Bionda dell'Adamello type, with typical coat and facial markings.[2]
The Bionda dell'Adamello is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders.[5][6] The herd-book was activated in 1997.[3] At the end of 2013 the registered population was variously reported as 3148[7] and as 2772.[8]
