The shield is “divided” into two green fields, evoking the fertile surrounding hilly landscape: in the first field stands a golden Greek cross, symbolizing the Christian faith and the connection to the era of the holy bishop, while in the second, five natural-colored ears of wheat intertwine, recalling the rural economy that has sustained the community for generations.
Crowning the shield, the silver mural crown, typical of Italian municipalities, recalls the ancient fortifications and the city’s autonomy; a sumptuous purple velvet mantle lined with ermine and tied with gold cords emphasizes the historical and cultural value of this emblem, proudly displayed on banners, plaques, and official documents.
Finally, the green drapery bordered in red of the banner completes the heraldic ensemble, telling in a single emblem the story of a town born under the shadow of a charismatic saint’s cult and nurtured by the richness of its fields.
