Croce (family)
The House of Croce or Kručić ( la, Crosio) was a Ragusan nobility, noble family in the Republic of Ragusa, based in Dubrovnik. Some of its representatives were state officials and the family is considered to be among the ten richest families of the Republic in the 14th century. History There are very few reliable data on the family's early history. The first known mention appears in the 13th century. During the 14th century members of the family took part in land/Real estate, estate allocations of newly acquired territories: in Pelješac (1333), in upper parts of Astarea (1366), and in Dubrovačko Primorje (1399) northwest from the city. From 1440 to 1640, there were in total 10 members of the family who entered the Grand Council (''Consilium maius''), a body consisting of all adult Ragusan noblemen. Two of them were elected to the Senate (''Consilium rogatorum''), and a single one as "rector" (or ''knez'') of the Republic, the head of the state. In the beginning of the 15th c ...

Nemopteridae
Nemopteridae, the spoonwings, are a family of neuropteran insects. They are also called thread-winged antlions. They are found in the Ethiopian, Palearctic, Australasian and Neotropical realms but absent in North America (though a fossil has been found in Colorado).Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia, 2nd edition. Volume 3, Insects, edited by Michael Hutchins, Arthur V. Evans, Rosser W. Garrison, and Neil Schlager. Farmington Hills, MI: Gale Group, 2003. Their flight is delicate and they have a circling flight to avoid walls when they are trapped indoors. The long streamer is conspicuous when the insects are flying and these are the elongated and spatulate hindwings. Male nemopterids have a bulla on the wing usually along the margin or wing base that is used to disperse pheromone. Taxonomy There are two distinct subfamilies in the family Nemopteridae: *Subfamily Crocinae, mostly nocturnal and crepuscular species with often a narrow habitat preference. They are found in arid d ...

Menaggio
Menaggio ( lmo, label=Comasco, Menas ) is a town and ''comune'' in the province of Como, Lombardy, northern Italy, located on the western shore of Lake Como at the mouth of the river Senagra. Menaggio has three ''frazioni'' (parishes): Croce, Loveno and Nobiallo. History The area of current Menaggio was conquered by the Romans in 196 BC. The Roman conquest culminated with the construction of a road called the Via Regina. Menaggio was a walled city. Remnants of the wall are evident today. Construction of big hotels in this cool summer area made it a summer resort area. Between 1873 and 1939, Menaggio was linked to Porlezza, on Lake Lugano, by the Menaggio–Porlezza railway, a steam hauled narrow gauge line built as part of a multi-modal transport link between Menaggio and Luino, on Lake Maggiore.
