Stemma_Rivergaro

The civic symbol refers to that of the Anguissola family of the branch of Podenzano, Rivergaro, Montechiaro and Rustigazzo.

The brothers Gian Francesco and Bartolomeo Anguissola, sons of Annibale (1494 - 1503), had, with a decree dated Milan 1 December 1477, signed by Bona and Gian Galeazzo M. Sforza Visconti, the privilege of being elected County of the Fief of Podenzano.

In the investiture parchment there is the description of the insignia granted, a shield with a castle depicted and a dove holding a scroll with the motto "A bon droit" in its beak, an insignia that the Dukes themselves used to wear, and which testified to high consideration for those who could boast of it.

This is the description of the municipal coat of arms registered in the Heraldic Book of Moral Bodies, "By the grace of God and the will of the nation" as established by the Royal Decree of 10 April 1930, signed by King Vittorio Emanuele III and the Head of Government Benito Mussolini.

Truncated shield; in the first one of blue to the turreted castle of one, crenellated in the Ghibelline style, of silver, the central part surmounted by a dove with lowered flight, natural, radiated in gold; in the 2nd section, nailed with argent and gules.
