* EMPIRE: The Head of the Empire, belonging to Italian heraldry, represents a political alliance with the Ghibelline party (derived from the Hohenstaufen, Lords of Waibling) who were loyal to the Emperor.

* MARTLET: The Martlets mean the number of defeated enemies and are the distinctive mark of the fourth son.

* PELICAN: The Pelican is a symbol of the Charitable and Pious Lord towards his vassals.

* CRESCENT: The Crescent, of oriental origin, symbolizes Victory against the darkness of slander, and Emulations against inconstancy and fickleness.
