Really? What is he mixed with? Do you know? I'm very new to the Mastiff breeds, I can't tell just by looking

It may be like piebald with English Mastiff. Actually a purebred but just not accepted by the standard.

Thanks everyone :)

I just love fermentino's corso , but prefer isabella..The best thing is formentino without mask..Like this little boy
My little boy is Isabella. I didn't know it wasn't standard until it was too late and now he will just be my baby. I wanted to show him but will not be able to. I just think he is the most gorgeous colored Corso I have ever seen. he can be seen here : http://instagram.com/enzothecorso/

There is a difference between what E1kpo calls Isabella and what you call it. His variation of it is a light cream colour, yours has brown pigmentation similar to a Weimaraner which was not a colour seen in the corso. Cream is supposed to be a colour that was seen, although rarely in the breed it does still pop up occasionally.
 
what that user is showing is NOT Isabella, but rather light fawn with no mask. My dog is Isabella and happens when two blue dogs mate at times. See link: Genetic of Colors Cane Corso

Isabella is exactly the color a Weimeriner is. It is not an accepted color, and it is rare but he is most certainly full bred (It seems that you are insinuating otherwise).

Who is implying your dog is not pure? Over here the colour that E1Kpo shows they do call cream without a mask or some have the smallest amount of pigment around the nose that makes it hard to see if you are not there with the dog I am told (have not met a cream so can not comment).

Isabella can come from more than just two dogs being grey/blue being bred. Just as the cream comes from the same thing both are rare but I did not say either was not pure but neither is accepted by standard.
