Kuvasz "cousin" - Maremmas and sheep cross river in Italy

Sheep in Italy are shepherded across a river on their way to shearing. Their faithful Maremmas accompany them.
"Traditional Rite of vagnatura. Sheep before shearing, are made dive in a stretch of the Sele River rich in sulfur water, in this way the wool is washed and disinfected."

Tradizionale rito della vagnatura.
Le pecore prima della tosatura, vengono fatte tuffare in un tratto del fiume Sele ricco di acqua a base zolfo, in questo modo la lana viene lavata e disinfettata.

The Sele is a river in southwestern Italy. Originating from the Monti Picentini in Caposele,[1] it flows through the region of Campania, in the provinces of Salerno and Avellino. Its mouth is in the Gulf of Salerno, on the Tyrrhenian Sea, at the borders between the municipalities of Eboli and Capaccio (not too far from Paestum), in the beginning point of Cilentan Coast. -- From Wikipedia
