The Tuscany Aviculture Association with the collaboration of the Florence Agriculture students, Prof. Giannine and Prof. Salvaterra organized on the 6-7-8 of February 2004 the 7th Social Aviculture Show.

The show was held in the “Volte Medicee” a brick building dating from the late 16th century.

The area was rearranged for the occasion and decorated with plaints and flowers. It made a special background for more then 120 chicken specimens on display. Many were the breeds on display among which the Black Livornese the White Sicilian and Gold neck.

February the 6th was reserved for the Judges’ point assignment and the classification for the individual competition.

Some of the students were allowed to assist in the judgment.

The following 2 days the show was opened to the public (from 9.30-18.00 with free entrance).
