More than 50 dog and cat owners attended a basic course in veterinary semeiotics in Avellino, filling the hall of the Church of San Ciro Martire, according to a report by IrpiniaNews.
The meeting took place on Saturday 17 October 2026, from 10:30 to 12:30, in the parish hall of the Church of San Ciro Martire, in via Dorso 4 in Avellino. The initiative was promoted by Sara Spiniello in collaboration with veterinary surgeon Luigi De Rosa.
The course was open to the public and aimed to help owners recognise the main signs of well-being or discomfort in domestic animals. Its stated purpose was to give owners basic tools for observing dogs and cats and recognising clinical signs or indicators of malaise.
The lesson combined a theoretical part with practical demonstrations. According to the IrpiniaNews account, participants followed attentively, asked questions and requested the slides by email.
Both Spiniello and De Rosa underlined the value of educational and outreach initiatives dedicated to the health and prevention of domestic animals.
The reported attendance figure comes from the IrpiniaNews follow-up report and has not been corroborated by an independent institutional source. The sources do not specify in detail which clinical parameters or practical demonstrations were covered, and no official organiser page with a full programme or teaching materials is available.
The reported turnout indicates local interest in this type of pet-health initiative in Avellino.
