The Segugio Maremmano originated from an unregistered hunting dog population in the Tuscan Maremma. The breed has been present in its original area since the 1930s, and official recognition was achieved thanks to Dr Bosio and other enthusiasts; Tuscan boar hunters created a breed adapted to wild boar hunting.
