Classification

The Mericanel della Brianza is an Italian breed of small chicken or bantam from Lombardy, in northern Italy. It takes its name from the Brianza, an area to the north-east of Milan, and from mericanell, a Lombard diminutive of merican "American". In early 2012 it was the only officially recognised Italian bantam breed.
