.... 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. Dr. Antonino La Barbera and Dr. Domenico Tricomi have talked about the current state of breed and interesting ideas and proposals for the revival.
Entry 48 Cirnechi and was present a lot of dogs not entry and a lot of spectators and lovers of the breed.
