Welcome

Welcome to the official Italian Association of Alpaca Owners and Breeders, known as ITALPACA.

The association was established January 2001 by a handful of pioneer breeders to assist this fledgling industry grow in Italy.  As of Summer 2001, our association has established a National Registry based on high species standards, an Insurance Policy specifically designed for Alpaca breeders and is organizing a wool cooperative for the transformation and resale of alpaca fiber.

We are as yet a small association, but proud to be starting with high standards for the quality of animals bred in our country and are excited to have established, from the onset of our market development, a registry that is implementing strict quality control over the alpacas accepted in the Italian National Registry (R.N.A.).

We are delighted to have joined the growing international community of alpaca breedersí associations and look forward to working with everyone interested in the growth of this sector and the welfare of these animals.

Please contact us, should you need further information concerning ITALPACA or our membership.

Sincerely,

 Gianni Berna
President ITALPACA
