The Sciara or Moscia Calabrese is an indigenous breed of domestic sheep from the provinces of Catanzaro and Cosenza, in Calabria in southern Italy.
[1][2] It is a hardy and frugal breed, well adapted to the poor and stony upland terrain of the area.
[3] Sources from the early 20th century describe it as dark-coloured; according to the breed standard, it should be white.
[2] It is one of the forty-two autochthonous local sheep breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders;[3] the herdbook is empty.
No numbers have been reported to DAD-IS or published since that date.
