The Cave Canen exhibition closed this afternoon in Barga Vecchia exactly as it started a week ago -- with the sound of rain falling outside in the piazza, dripping umbrellas and wet footprints across all the floors in the three galleries holding the exhibition. The only difference today was that the wet prints were not just human but also those of the many dogs which turned up for the closing ceremony. Karin Schirmer from the Intissar's kennels who had brought along some of her special breeds of dog to show to the public -- her award winning Sloughi and Chinese Crested dogs plus many other canines brought in specially for the event by members of the the animal rights Association "L' Arca della Valle".

The 75 works of art on show in Barga will be taken down from the walls of the galleries this week, packed up and then sent off to the next location for the travelling Cave Canen Show which will probably be in La Spezia. From there the next step will probably be Milano.
