Does anyone have experience with Cane Corsos? We were considering one as our next dog, maybe next year. I have read what I could on the internet, however, there is only one book written about them that I can find in english? I have met a few and loved them. I was wondering how they are to live with?

I love mine. He's absolutely the perfect pet for my home. I wouldn't get one for sport work. I think it would be a long shot at best. I would also either stick with a reputable breeder that has a few generations under their belt breeding what you are after, or an adult dog.
I got mine out of a shelter. I was planning on just training him up for them but he fit in so well he ended up staying. Very stable, solid nerves, enough drive to be easily trainable. He was a handful when we got him, 8 months old with no training, but he came around pretty quickly. He's a big goofy lug that loves to please. He's also a very hard dog. Not high maintenance at all. He's happy with a short walk every day, or going all day if you want.
Do you have specific questions about the breed in general?

A good one can be hard to find. The CC is also one of those breeds that has become popular and that means indiscriminate breeding. The majority of the ones I've seen are nerve bags and fear biters.
As David said "stick with a reputable dealer".

cant speak about a proper well bred one as we got ours from rescue where the parents were grow op guard dogs. She was a crazy chewer as a pup, everything wood was destroyed! like gone wittled to the ground destroyed. Now shes 8 and the most well mannered easy dog ever. Shes the biggest snuggly sucky baby you could ever meet. shes not the brightest bulb in the box but very obedient. She is great with all dogs and cats and our bunnies jump on her and she just sleeps. Shes a big wimp about rain which sucks coz we live in Vancouver. Shes gotten worse in her old age, a lot more lazy. She definitely barks if someones at the door so good guard dog, puts on a good show and would charge up barking but don't see her ever biting. Shes a huge klutz too. My fiancée loves the breed and wants another but I want another malinois lol.
That being said I've met one other nice one and the rest were really kinda sketchy and we were told her sister was fear aggressive.
hope that helps, just my experience 
ps. get used to drool lol
old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to- unknown |

WORKED FOR A CORSO BREEDER!
Find the right breeder for YOU!
Each breeder breeds for a different personality and build of a dog!
All in all, great dogs in my opinion!

I have two main questions: 1) I heard they are dog aggressive? and 2) Do they drool a lot?

They can be DA. Mine is not at all.
They drool after drinking and during heavy exercise but nothing like some of the molosers. I wouldn't call Lou a heavy drooler.

I can't speak for the CC but my brother tells us not to use the blue towels at his house. Those are drool wipes for his Presa.
Brother lives and an absolutely beautiful, original, built in the 20s Arts and Crafts style house right out of a Frank Loyd Wright's design table. He repaints walls once a year. When that dog shakes his head everyone ducks!
Bro is single of course. LOL!

Mastiffs do have an remarkable splatter range with drool, although apparently it's usually the males with this gift, Kaiser has distributed drool on the ceiling, the tv, pictures high on the wall, and most recently, he deposited a string right into Sam's cereal, and one straight over my head an onto the mirror while I was brushing my teeth.
Pretty impressive I thought!

Laura I know Boerboels and Presas mostly, but also a couple of Canes.
Generally speaking they are daft, sweet, inclined to be a wee bit needy, and mastiffs often mature quite late, and because of this immaturity, can be fearful around other dogs.
This can sometimes result in them charging at provocative dogs that will insist on getting in their space, but it is their sheer size and strength that can be a problem if they aren't handled with a fair but firm hand.
They need to be taught from a very early age to come, stay and wait, as they are strong willed and very determined to be in charge, an undisciplined mastiff can be a real pain in the arse and a liability.
That said, they are fantastic pets, totally devoted to their people and pack, protective of the property, and put up a good show as guard dogs.
They really aren't very bright, although the bitches are more responsive in my experience
