Origin/meaning

The Pulcinella on the crest represents the armiger's Neopolitan heritage, the bezant their Cornish heritage. The horn Pulcinella is holding represents the armiger's commission as a Kentucky Colonel. The shield shows a wild man or more specifically Silvanus (Roman god of the countryside) which is canting for the last name Silvestri (Latin: from the woods). The armiger is an orchardist and gardener, hence apples and roses. The four apples represent their four sons and the three roses their daughters. The red wavy base is intentionally left blank so that their children may add a charge for difference.
