Nikos
Nikos (Greek: Νίκος, Níkos) is a Greek given name. It originates from Greek Nikolaos, which means "victory of the people". Although used as a proper first name, Nikos is also a popular nickname of the original Nikolaos (Greek) or Nicholas (English).

Nicholas
Nicholas is a male name, the Anglophone version of an ancient Greek name in use since antiquity, and cognate with the modern Greek Νικόλαος, Nikolaos. It originally derived from a combination of two Greek words meaning 'victory' and 'people'. In turn, the name means "victory of the people."

The name has been widely used in countries with significant Christian populations, owing in part to the veneration of Saint Nicholas, which became increasingly prominent in Western Europe from the 11th century. Revered as a saint in many Christian denominations, the Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, and Anglican Churches all celebrate Saint Nicholas Day on December 6. In maritime regions throughout Europe, the name and its derivatives have been especially popular, as St Nicholas is considered the protector saint of seafarers. This remains particularly so in Greece, where St Nicholas is the patron saint of the Hellenic Navy.

Strega Nona
Strega Nona is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Tomie dePaola. If considered as a folktale, the story is Aarne-Thompson type 565, the Magic Mill. It concerns Strega Nona and her helper, Big Anthony. The name "Strega Nona" resembles the Italian phrase for "Grandma Witch", though the accurate Italian rendering would be "Nonna Strega", with the words reversed and "Nonna" spelled with a double "n". While in standard Italian the word "nona" (with a single "n") would mean "ninth", it is also a common dialectal form for grandma, particularly used in northern regions. The book, which is likely dePaola's best-known work, was published in 1975 and won a Caldecott honor in 1976. It was one of the "Top 100 Picture Books" of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal. Strega Nona has been challenged or banned in some children's libraries in the United States because it depicts magic and witchcraft in a positive light.

Bianco world map
The Bianco World Map is a map created by Andrea Bianco, a 15th-century Venetian sailor and cartographer who resided on Chios.

These vellum pages were previously held in an 18th-century binding, but the current owner, Venetian library Biblioteca Marciana, separated the pages for individual exhibition.

To confirm his authorship of the atlas, Bianco added to the first page a signature flag with the text "Andreas Biancho de Veneciis me fecit M cccc xxx vj". Roughly translated, this reads "Made by me Andreas Biancho in Venice, 1436."

Andrea Bianco also collaborated with Fra Mauro on the Fra Mauro world map of 1459.
