The Bergamasca is a breed of domestic sheep from the mountainous part of the province of Bergamo, in Lombardy in northern Italy.
By the beginning of the 20th century it had spread through much of Lombardy; it is now raised in most parts of mainland Italy,[6] particularly the province of Teramo in Abruzzo, where more than 80% of the registered stock are kept.
[9][6] In Lombardy, it is traditionally raised by transhumant management: the herds spend the summers on the alpine pasture, and over-winter in the Po valley.
Rams weigh 105 kg (231 lb) and grow to 90 cm (35 in) at the withers on average.
At maturity on average, ewes weigh 82 kg (181 lb) and grow to 80 cm (31 in) at the withers.
