The oldest seals of the district already show the pale, which symbolises the local river, with the letter M on the pale. On the seals two additional figures are seen, an image of the St. Mary and St. John. The St. Mary is the patron saint of Mesocco and St. John one of the two patron saints of San Vittore.
