This hoodie showcases the official Coat of Arms (Stemma) of Alta Valle Intelvi, a municipality in the Province of Como, Lombardy, Italy. The emblem, officially granted in 2019, is a powerful visual representation of the region's history and the unification of its constituent municipalities.
Design Overview
The coat of arms is divided into four quadrants (quartering) and features a central horizontal band (fess). This design is rich in symbolism, carefully merging elements from the historical municipalities that formed Alta Valle Intelvi.
Detailed Elements & Symbolism
The design is primarily characterized by a quartered field. The first and fourth quadrants are green, while the second and third are red, colors that are traditionally common to Pellio Intelvi. These colors represent the area's strong identity and connection to its natural landscape.
A central, diminished fess, checkered in red and silver, crosses the quadrants. Overlaid on the second quadrant is an alabarda (halberd), rendered in its natural color, which is taken from the coat of arms of Lanzo d'Intelvi, and symbolizes this municipality's historical significance.
In the fourth quadrant, there are two golden scepters are presented in a band. The golden scepters, taken from the coat of arms of Ramponio Verna, symbolize authority and governance within the region.
