A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.
In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, two or more last names (or surnames) may be used. In China, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Madagascar, Taiwan, Vietnam, and parts of India, the family name is placed before a person's given name.
The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.
The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.
The Verona Arena (Arena di Verona) is a Roman amphitheatre in Piazza Bra in Verona, Italy built in 1st century. It is still in use today and is internationally famous for the large-scale opera performances given there. It is one of the best preserved ancient structures of its kind. In ancient times, nearly 30,000 people was the housing capacity of the Arena. Nowadays, for security reasons, the maximum attendance is of 15,000 people.
The building itself was built in AD 30 on a site which was then beyond the city walls. The ludi (shows and games) staged there were so famous that spectators came from many other places, often far away, to witness them. The amphitheatre could host more than 30,000 spectators in ancient times.
The round façade of the building was originally composed of white and pink limestone from Valpolicella, but after a major earthquake in 1117, which almost completely destroyed the structure's outer ring, except for the so-called "ala", the stone was quarried for re-use in other buildings. Nevertheless, it impressed medieval visitors to the city, one of whom considered it to have been a labyrinth, without ingress or egress.Ciriaco d'Ancona was filled with admiration for the way it had been built and Giovanni Antonio Panteo's civic panegyric De laudibus veronae, 1483, remarked that it struck the viewer as a construction that was more than human.

Un extrait du spectacle de Fred Radix, "Le siffleur" au festival des Tombées de la nuit à Rennes le 4 juillet 2014. Dans le fond, au "Vieux Saint-Etienne", on entend les clameurs du public qui assiste au match de foot France-Allemagne. Au-dessus on voit la pluie rennaise qui vient saluer, comme souvent, le festival à elle consacré, Les Tombées de la pluie ! Bravo au musicien qui ne se démonte pas et sifflera même sous parapluie la "habanera" du "Carmen" de Bizet. On aura reconnu au passage le mouvement lent du concerto pour piano n° 21 de Mozart.
Chacun maint'nant cherche des souv'nirs de la guerre Sans parler d'ceux que s'sont gardés les poilus Car tout le monde sait qu'cette fois c'est bien la dernière Nini fini on n'se battra jamais plus Alors on collectionne des casques, Des fusils, des sacs, des obus, Des baïonnettes, voire même des masques, Mais ce qui survivra le plus Comme souvenir précis de ces jours triomphants C'est le chant populaire alerte et bon enfant Quand Madelon vient nous servir à boire L'a-t-on assez chanté sur tous les tons Et plus tard il fera dans l'histoire, L'histoire un peu sans façon, Si bien des choses nous paraissent sévères Pourvu qu'on pince des tailles et des mentons On en rit plus la peine de s'en faire Hin Hin hin, hin hin hin, hin hin hin. Si Madelon dev'nant la seule musique Qu'on emploier...
