The Rustica di Calabria or Sciara is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from Calabria in southern Italy.^[5] It is raised mostly in the provinces of Catanzaro and Cosenza. Although present in substantial numbers it has been little studied; its conservation status and origins remain unclear. It may have been influenced by the various goat breeds, including the Abyssinian goat, the Maltese and a type known as "Tibetan", whose introduction to Calabria in the early twentieth century is documented.^[3]

The Rustica di Calabria is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders.^[6]^[7] At the end of 2013 the registered population was 24,130, most of which were in the province of Cosenza.^[8]
