The Gentile di Puglia is a breed of domestic sheep indigenous to southern Italy.[3][4] It originates from the Tavoliere di Foggia, a large plain in the northern part of Puglia, and is raised mainly in that region; a few are found in neighbouring regions.[4] The Gentile di Puglia is sometimes known as the Merinos d'Italia, or Italian merino.[4]
