Villafranca Padovana - Stemma (Coat of Arms) Hoodie
Embrace the heritage of Villafranca Padovana with this striking coat of arms design. The stemma, officially granted in 1935, is a testament to the town's history and unique identity.
Design Overview
The design features a shield "partito," or vertically divided, creating two distinct halves. The left and right sections each boast a unique heraldic style, representing different facets of Villafranca Padovana.
Left Half: Faith and Heritage
The left side of the shield is "troncato," divided horizontally into silver (white) and gold (yellow). A prominent "anchored cross" gracefully spans both sections. This visual element is a clear reference to Christianity, and specifically connects to the historical sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie within Villafranca Padovana.
Right Half: Geography and Local Landscape
The right half presents a vibrant composition of vertical stripes (pales) alternating blue ("azzurro") and silver. A silver horizontal band ("fess") elegantly crosses the striped pattern. This side of the stemma likely alludes to the local geography of Villafranca Padovana, specifically representing the waterways and bridges which have historically shaped the landscape.
Color Palette
The design utilizes a classic heraldic palette: argent (silver/white), oro (gold/yellow), and azure (blue). These colors are used strategically within the two halves, contributing to the overall visual impact and symbolic meaning.
Civic Embellishments
The design is accompanied by the "ornamenti esteriori da Comune," or typical civic heraldic ornaments, giving it its official designation as the town's coat of arms.
