Molta gente, pochi cognomi

Ci sono solo 700 cognomi in Cina (Corriere della Sera). I cinesi usano anche un numero limitato per identificare la gente e naturalmente la confusione regna suprema con persone che hanno lo stesso nome e cognome. A Shangai uno su dieci abitanti ha Zhang come cognome e ci sono anche quattromila persone con il nome Jie e il cognmoe Chen. Il cognome più comune in Cina è Li. In Italia invece ci sono 350,000 cognomi diversi. Sono basati su nomi di persone, di luoghi, professioni, aspetto fisico e nomignoli. La maggior parte risalgono all'Età Media. In Spagna la situazione è diversa. Non vi sono molti cognomi e spesso al primogenito viene dato il nome del padre e alla primogenita quello della madre. Ciononostante in Spagna e nel mondo latino si usano due cognomi, quello del padre (determina l'ordine alfabetico) e anche quello della madre. Dunque José García López probabilmente non si confoderà con un altro José García il quale probablimente avrà un secondo cognome.

Album Fotografico

La nostra amica Francesca è andata in Italia e ci ha portato sette ricordi fotografici che potete vederi qui. Tutti i paesi ritratti si trovano a circa 60 km a Sud di Ancona sulla costa adriatica, in provincia di Ascoli Piceno (AP). A dire il vero gran parte di questi paesi passeranno sotto la neonata provincia di Fermo. Firmum firma fides Romanurum colonia (Fermo colonia dei Romani dalla ferma fede).
