This book is the result of long and patient searches for almost three decades, which almost represents the life of the author; It is based on the heraldic, genealogical, chivalric and nobiliary science that the author has acquired with the foundation of the Italian Heraldic Academy and the publication of the newspaper "Giornale araldico-genealogical".

One of the most distinctive qualities of heraldry is the use of a limited palette of colours and patterns, usually referred to as tinctures. These are divided into three categories, known as metals, colours, and furs.

Next we are going to see the meanings of three tinctures:

1) GULES: Red color that symbolizes Strength, Victory, Daring and Highness.

2) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.

3) AZURE: Blue color that symbolizes Justice, Zeal, Truth, Loyalty, Charity and Beauty.

Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:

* CASTLE: The Castle, due to the superiority of its strength over other buildings, denotes Greatness and Power, used to defend friends and allies, resisting the enemy invincibly.

* PARROT: The Parrot is a symbol of a Noble Knight, who looks with pleasure at the enamels on his shield, with the intention of not only preserving them, but adding new stamps with his own deeds and is also a symbol of Eloquence and Docility.

* EAGLE: The Eagle is an emblem of Generosity, Magnanimity and Bizarre spirit, that from the greatest heights does not stop monitoring the fulfillment of the least obligations of his position.

* CINQUEFOIL: The Cinquefoils symbolize Hope and Joy.

* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.

* ANGIO: The Chief of Angio, belonging to Italian heraldry, represents a political alliance with the Welf party (derived from Welf, Duke of Bavaria) who were loyal to the Pope.

* RIVER: The River symbolizes, due to its condition of increasing its flow as it advances, the Knight who leaves his house with a desire to advance and returns to it enriched with Erudition and Fortune.

* CABRIO: The Cabrio symbolizes the boots and spurs, and for this reason it was granted as an adornment of the shield to the Knight who was wounded from the combat in his legs.
