Altavilla Monferrato - Stemma (Coat of Arms) Hoodie
This hoodie proudly displays the official coat of arms, or "stemma," of Altavilla Monferrato, a charming municipality in Piedmont, Italy. The design is a faithful representation of the historical emblem used by the town.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The central focus of the artwork is the shield itself, rendered in exquisite detail. The dominant color is a bright silver (Argento), which forms the backdrop. Encircling the field is a distinctive gold-shaped quadrilobed border, adding a touch of elegance.
The design is distinguished by several key heraldic charges. Four bold vertical stripes ("pali di rosso") in vibrant red stand out against the silver field, representing courage, strength, and valor. Crossing these vertical stripes is a horizontal silver band ("fascia"), further defining the unique visual composition.
This design is more than just an emblem; it's a window into the past. The coat of arms directly represents the historical ties to the noble house of the Marchesi Bellone, and stands as a badge of honor for the town.
The specific arrangement and colors on this heraldic design represent a unique history. The colors chosen further enrich the meaning: silver conveys ideas of purity, integrity, or peace and the gold implies generosity, dignity, or high status, creating an attractive and meaningful artwork.
