Cane da Presa Meridionale → Cane da presa – Cane da presa is the right name. Meridionale is superflous and wrong altogether. Meridionale means southerner, it's just a geographical information, which however has got no meaning whatsoever when extracted from the italian context (it is indeed trying to say meridionale w.r.t. the Italian peninsula). It is also wrong as the original name is just Cane da presa (a source in Italian). As this page already says, this is the same dog as the Neapolitan mastiff and this is one of the only two denominations you find a geographical adjective in (the other one is Cane corso): and this time it is the right one, as Neapolitan is the historical adjective to be used to refer to things, animals and people coming from the south of Italy.
