The Coat of Arms

First design of the Arms of Savona is one thousand years old. The town was involved heavily in the European wars of the Middle Ages as a Ghibelline (supporter of the Emperors forces against the Popes) stronghold.
The sign changed many times just based on the success or defeat on battlefields;
but finally, in the second half of the last century, it came back to the original look that we can see in this picture.
