Vissanna sheep, an indigenous breed hailing from Visso in the province of Macerata, Italy, are esteemed members of the Apennine group. Thriving in high hills, these sheep exhibit remarkable adaptability, efficiently utilizing meager pastures to meet their needs.

Characterized by their medium-small stature, Vissanna sheep typically stand at around 70 centimeters for males and 60 centimeters for females at the withers. Their wool, predominantly white in color, contributes to their distinct appearance.

In addition to their role in meat production, Vissanna sheep are valued for their contributions to milk and wool production. Their versatility in fulfilling multiple agricultural purposes underscores their importance to local farmers and their significance within the Apennine region's agricultural landscape.
