Origin/meaning

The new arms were adopted on November 7, 2005.

The arms show the valley in which the municipality is situated. The point and bars represent a typical house of the region. The six small bars represent the six former municipalities. The green colour symbolises the nature, the silver the marble which is mined in the region.
