Arrow
An arrow is a fin-stabilized projectile launched by a bow. A typical arrow usually consists of a long, stiff, straight shaft with a weighty (and usually sharp and pointed) arrowhead attached to the front end, multiple fin-like stabilizers called fletchings mounted near the rear, and a slot at the rear end called a nock for engaging the bowstring. A container or bag carrying additional arrows for convenient reloading is called a quiver. The use of bows and arrows by humans predates recorded history and is common to most cultures. A craftsman who makes arrows is a fletcher, and one who makes arrowheads is an arrowsmith.Paterson ''Encyclopaedia of Archery'' p. 56 History The oldest evidence of likely arrowheads, dating to years ago, were found in Sibudu Cave, current South Africa.Backwell L, d'Errico F, Wadley L.(2008).

Le Frecce
Le Frecce is the high-speed rail train category operated by Trenitalia in Italy under overall three brand names. History In 1997, a new category, "Eurostar", was introduced as the brand name of the high-speed trains run by Trenitalia in Italy. Since 2006, trains started to be operated and promoted under further sub-brands and less and less sold under the name "Eurostar". In June 2012, the category Eurostar was officially divided into various subcategories indicating various high-speed services. The new categories created were Frecciarossa (literally, ''Red Arrow'') for the fastest trains, Frecciargento (literally, ''Silver Arrow'') for the next category of trains and finally Frecciabianca (literally, ''White Arrow''). Since all these three train categories are named as "Freccia" (literally, ''Arrow''), the high-speed trains operated by Trenitalia are named "Le Frecce", on a par with TGV in France, ICE in Germany and AVE in Spain. Categories Frecciarossa Frecciarossa trains ...
