The Cane Corso is a catch dog used with cattle and swine, and also in wild boar hunts. It is also used by night Watchmen, keepers, and, in the past, by carters as adrover. In the more distant past this breed was common all over Italy as an ample iconography and historiography testify. In the recent past, its distribution was limited to some districts of Southern Italy, especially in Puglia, Molise, Calabria, and Sicily.
Its name derives from "cane da corso" which is an old term for those catch dogs used in rural activities (for cattle and swine; boar hunting) as distinct from "cane da camera" which indicates the catch dog kept as a bodyguard.
The breed was recovered from near extinction through the efforts of enthusiasts in the 1970s,[4] the Corso is now popular globally, as can be seen by recent celebrity ownership of Cane Corsi.
Since coming to the United States in 1987 the breed has gained popularity.[citation needed] It was recognized by the United Kennel Club on July 15, 2008 under the nameCane Corso Italiano,[5] and subsequently by the American Kennel Club in 2010 under the name Cane Corso.[6]
The Cane Corso Italiano is the original Cane Corso breed. It originated in Italy. Its direct ancestor is the "Canis Pugnax" (the old Roman Molossian) of which he is the light version employed in the hunting of large wild animals and also as an "auxiliary warrior" in battles. For years he has been a precious companion of the Italic populations. Employed as property, cattle and personal guard dog and used for hunting purposes too. In the past this breed was common all over Italy as an ample iconography and historiography testify. In the recent past he has found a excellent preservation area in Southern Italy, especially in Puglia, Lucania and Sannio. His name derives from the Latin "Cohors" which means "Guardian", "Protector". The Cane Corso was accepted into the AKC's miscellaneous class in 2008.

Neo is a great dog but a very unhealthy breed and as such, expensive to own. Corso on average is quite healthy. As such, Corso would be a better option, but to each their own.
it looks like a cane corso,
Yes it can,But if you have a cane corso mastiff i wouldn't breed it to a american,english,or pyrenean mastiff because those types of mastiffs are the largest of all mastiffs. ;)
