These are the pig breeds considered in Italy to be wholly or partly of Italian origin. Many have complex or obscure histories, so inclusion here does not necessarily imply that a breed is predominantly or exclusively Italian.
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
{{Pig breeds of Italy|state=collapsed}}will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{Pig breeds of Italy|state=expanded}}will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
