	One particular category of ''stemmi'' is special because of the way it communicates information about its owner: known as "talking" coats of arms, these ''stemmi'' use symbols with a pictorial or phonetic reference to the name of the family being represented. Some of the more obvious examples include the Dolfin family (a dolphin), the Da Ponte family (a bridge), and the Dalle Rose family (roses). The Barbarigo family used a beard on their stemmi, because "''barba''" is Italian for beard. Even more creatively, the Erizzo family used the letter “E” and a porcupine as their family symbol, as "''riccio''" is an Italian word for porcupine, or "''rizzo''" in the [[Venetian ~~language~~\|Venetian dialect]].
