Stemma Famiglia Longhena di Brescia (Italy) Hoodie: Design Overview
This hoodie showcases the distinguished coat of arms, or "Stemma," of the Longhena family of Brescia, Italy. The design centers on the visual elements of this historic heraldic emblem, offering a powerful representation of family heritage.
The Longhena Coat of Arms: A Detailed Look
The primary design element is the Longhena family's coat of arms, rendered in its traditional heraldic style. The background, or "field," is a striking azzurro blue, providing a regal backdrop for the central image.
The Pelican in Its Piety: The Heart of the Design
The focal point of the artwork is a majestic pelican, depicted in silver (argent). This pelican is shown in the act of "wounding its own breast with its beak," a classic heraldic representation known as "the pelican in its piety." The pelican stands on a green base, representing a grassy ground.
Symbolism and Meaning
The pelican motif holds significant symbolic weight within heraldry and Christian tradition. It represents self-sacrifice, charity, and unwavering parental care. The act of wounding itself to feed its young with its blood symbolizes giving and generosity. This design therefore celebrates these qualities, reflecting the values traditionally associated with the Longhena family.
