Se encuentra en toda Italia y África, desde Sicilia hasta el Tirol del Sur. Se reconocen al menos cinco subespecies.
Muchos zoólogos no creen en la espontaneidad de estas poblaciones europeas, sino que opinan que fueron implantadas por los romanos, aunque hay restos fósiles que parecen demostrar lo contrario.
