Here's a historical footnote underscoring the long-time acceptance of raw goat milk. (I wonder if the current pope accepts raw goat milk in his diet.)

“... in preparing that pope’s normal meals, Scappi had to take into account Pius V’s increasing agony of gallstones: for sustenance in his later days he was reduced to relying extensively on plain goat’s milk” The Opera of Bartolomeo Scappi (1570) pg. 31 - Scappi, B. and T. Scully, 2008, Toronto: University of Toronto Press.:

I discovered this "Opera" in my serach for "Renaissance Italian Cooking".
