DescriptionThe breed comes in many different colors in two main varieties, Gazzi and Schietti. Gazzi is a pied marking with the head and portion of the throat, the wings and the tail colored and the rest of the bird being white. Schiettis are non-pied.[1] OriginThe breed is of Italian origin and derives its name from the city of Modena where it was first bred centuries ago.[1] See also
