The Black Rooster is a very important symbol for
all Chianti Classico producers. Legend has it
that the black rooster, initially signifying in
Italy the whole of the Chianti and now indicating
the Chianti Classico region, was chosen for the
following reason In the Middle Ages when Siena
and Florence were fierce rivals and wished to
locate the boundary between them, it was decided
that two knights would set out on horseback from
their respective hometowns at cockcrow and where
they met would be the boundary.

The Sienese chose a beautiful white rooster,
raised sleek and fat with the idea that it would
loudly wake their knight at dawn the
Florentines, on the other hand, provided their
knight with an underfed black rooster.

On the day of the race, the black rooster was so
hungry he began to crow even before sunrise,
causing the knight to set out much earlier than
his counterpart, whom he met at Fonterutoli, near
Castellina in Chianti a mere 12 km from
Siena. In this way, almost all of the Chianti was
under the role of the Florentine Republic and the
black rooster much celebrated

Almost all the provincial capitals of Spain have
a building crowned with a phenix bird. The
sculpture of the dome was a creation (1911) of
French sculptor Charles René of Saint-Marceaux
(1845 - 1915), for the insurance company La Unión
y el Fénix Español

The Union and the Phoenix is the symbol of the
Insurance Company "La Unión y el Fénix Español",
which was formed in 1879 by a fusion of "La
Unión" (founded 1856) and "El Fénix Español,
Compañía de Seguros Reunidos" (1864). As symbol
they used first just the phoenix, but when in
1911 a new main office was built in the Calle
Alcalá in Madrid, the symbol was redisigned. The
French sculptor Saint-Marceau designed the new
emblem with the young man, sitting on one of the
wings of the Phoenix.

Many years later, in 1989, the real meaning of
Marceaux' sculpture was discovered not the myth
of of the Phoenix is represented, but the
abduction of Ganymede by Zeus in the shape of an
eagle.

The Holodomor also known as the Terror-Famine and
sometimes referred to as the Great Famine, was
a famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that
killed millions of Ukrainians
41
The Holodomor  emphasises the famine's man-made an
d intentional aspects such as rejection of
outside aid, confiscation of all household
foodstuffs and restriction of population
movement, a peacetime catastrophe unprecedented
in the history of Ukraine. Since 2006, the
Holodomor has been recognized by Ukraine and 15
other countries as a genocide of the Ukrainian
people carried out by the Soviet government
