SCANDIANO
Region : Emilia-Romagna
Province : Reggio Emilia
Official blazon
D'azzurro, alla banda abbassata e centrata d'oro con il bordo superiore scalinato di 15 tratti, il primo a destra orizzontale.
Origin/meaning
The arms of Scandiano shows a stairs, with the Latin motto "Proxima coelo, nunquam infidelis" that means: "I am near the sky, and never unfaithful". It seems that the name Scandiano derives from the ancient habit of the inhabitants of the town to climb (scandere in Latin) a hill with a temple of the Latin god Iano. Hence the stairs are considered a canting element.
The arms in Stemmi delle principali città d'Italia. Milano (pre 1940) |
