Featured Article: Coats of Arms

Coats of Arms, also known as stemmi (stemma, singular) in Italian, were formerly used to indicate ownership of a building. They are also a sub-set of material culture. The wealthier families in the city would often recreate their family crest out of stone, marble, or some other substance, and hang it outside of their palaces. Most coats of arms are symbolic of the family name in some way. In the event that a new owner moved into the building, the coat of arms would often be removed or carved off.
