Ailsa Craig (gaeliksi Creag Ealasaid) on saari Skotlannin Firth of Clydessä. Saarella on kivilouhoksia, joista saadusta graniitista valmistetaan curlingkiviä.[1] Nykyään asumaton saari oli 1500-luvun Skotlannin uskonpuhdistuksen aikana katolisten turvapaikka, mutta nyt se on lintujen suojelualue ja siellä elää suuret määrät suulia ja kasvava määrä lunneja.

Una famiglia di emigrati in Brasile. Il Veneto da prima dell'annessione al Regno d'Italia era una terra con una forte tradizione migratoria soprattutto nelle zone pedemontane. Inoltre, i veneti avvertirono le difficoltà che stavano vivendo in quel momento. Lo storico italo brasiliano Emilio Franzina scriveva su Veneto dall’ottocento che: si poteva morire di fame e che l'unico alimento della classe contadina non era altro che la polenta, poiché la carne bovina era un mito e il pane di fari...
