- Col de Montgenèvre
A historically super-important pass, known already to Romans (including Julius Caesar). But, as you can guess, also a possible route for Hannibal. "Does not lie in sleep." - Fountain
A relief on an early Renaissance water basin with the coat-of-arms of the monastery. - Napoleon's villa
First French Empire coat of arms with an eagle holding thunderbolts. - San Giacomo e San Quirico
A grave in the church of San Giacomo e San Quirico in Rio nell'Elba. - A tile on a wall
Not the official coat of arms of Marciana, but it could be. - The ostriches!
The coat of arms of Leoben is an ostrich. Apparently, they were considered as the only animals being able to eat iron. And since this is a mining town... ostriches are the obvious choice. - Palazzo del Popolo
Is this a dog with a helmet? And a cow sitting on top of it? - 12-sided bell tower
Coat of arms on the 12-sided bell tower, next to Chiesa di Sant'Andrea. - Palazzo Vecchio del Podestà
Interesting coat of arms on the town hall walls. - Basilica Cateriniana San Domenico
There were several flags in the church, including this one with an angry-looking fish. Actually, the flags represent different districts (contrada) of Siena. This one represents Onda, a district of carpenters. And that is a dolphin. - Pozzo dei Grifi e dei Leoni
Two griffons and two lions holding the Medici coat of arms.
