About the Persano horse
The Persano is a horse breed created during the Kingdom of Naples at the Royal Stud of Persano near Serre, in Italy’s Salerno province. Its development involved crossing Andalusians, Arabians, Turkomans, and Mecklenburgers. The resulting breed is described as similar in appearance to an Anglo Arabian. These details give the Persano a clearly documented Italian setting and a multi-breed foundation. It belongs to the horse family and originates in Italy. The breed’s historical context is tied to the former Kingdom of Naples and the royal stud where it was created. Readers exploring the Persano can therefore identify its place of origin, the institution associated with its development, and the horse types named in its breeding history. No information is provided here about temperament, riding use, size, or care.
