"The Cirneco dell' Etna: millennia of history, fifty years of selection. Proposals for the revival of the breed". Special show Cirneco, conference, photographs and iconographic exhibition..!!

.... perhaps the most important event in the history of the Cirneco dell'Etna, everything went perfectly in the frame of the courtyard of Platamone Palace in Catania (former convent of Saint Placido) surrounded by old photos of the founders of the breed, of Donna Agata Paternò Castello ("Cirnecos mother") and a complete collection of Sicilian coins depicting our dog curated by Pucci.

The conference, which was introduced by the President of the Amateur Society Cirneco Giuseppe Veraldi, had important interventions. Dr. Felice Modica spoke about the origins, etymology and the Cirneco in numismatics, in the art and in the literature.
