The Cabannina is a native cattle breed from Genoa, named after the Cabanne plain in the Rezzoaglio municipality. A number of pure-bred animals were preserved here, allowing the revival of the breed over the past few decades after it came close to extinction. A hardy breed, small in size, it has a dark chestnut or pale brown coat, with a cream stripe along the back, known as the riga mulina, which fades into reddish shades.
