Stemma famiglia it Galluppi Sicilia (Italy) (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie design showcases the historical coat of arms, or "stemma," of the Galluppi family, a noble lineage with roots in Tropea, Calabria and a significant presence in Sicily. The artwork centers around the heraldic elements that traditionally defined the Galluppi family's visual identity.
The Shield & Field
The focal point of the design is the shield, the central element of the coat of arms. The background, or "field," of the shield is depicted in blue (d'azzurro), a color traditionally representing loyalty and truth in heraldry. This solid blue provides the backdrop for the other prominent elements.
Central Charge & Accompanying Symbols
At the heart of the shield, a golden capriolo (roe deer) is prominently displayed. Alternatively, a gold chevron (scaglione d'oro) may be featured. This central charge is accompanied by three gold stars, carefully positioned on the blue field around the main symbol. These stars add to the visual complexity and balance of the design, contributing to the overall aesthetic.
Crest & Additional Elements
Above the shield, the design incorporates a crest, a secondary heraldic element. This crest features a black horse's head and neck (testa e collo di cavallo inalberato di nero), symbolizing strength and heritage, possibly linked to the old Kingdom of Naples. Surrounding the shield might be military trophies or mantling, adding a decorative flourish to the rendition.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design as a whole represents the noble lineage of the Galluppi family and conveys a sense of history, heritage, and identity. The blue field, golden charges (deer or chevron, and stars), and black horse crest each contribute to the symbolism. The coat of arms, as depicted on this hoodie, provides a powerful visual representation of the Galluppi family's legacy.
