Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on February 1, 1931.
The arms are first known from a collection of civic arms on the Venetian municipalities in 1876. These arms showed only the towers, the letters were added in 1930. In a letter from August 13, 1876 the mayor of Soave mentioned that the arms have been used form times immemorial, but the exact origin is not known.The colours are supposed to have been derived from the arms of the Della Scala family, Lords of Verona, who had in Soave their summer residence. The tower itself symbolises the Verona gate, the main access to the walled city of Soave.
