In the 19th century the municipality was created from the villaged Praduro and Sasso. In 1851 the Papal Commissioner asked all the municipalities of Bologna to provide information on their coats of arms, the Bologna region belonged to the Papal States at the time. The municipality did not have one at the time and the first use of a coat of arms dates from 1876. These arms showed the arms of the local noble family of Sassi: “a mountain of stones”, as sassi means stones, this was a canting arms for the family. The comet also appeared, its meaning is not clear, but was a common symbol at the time. | |||
In 1877 a green base was added under the mountain. This was canting for Praduro, prato duro means “hard meadow”. | |||
As for most Italian municipalities a chief with the fasces was added in 1933 and in 1938 the name was changed into Sasso Marconi, after Guglielmo Marconi, originally from the area. | |||
By the decree of 1943 the fascist chief was replaced with that of the house of Anjou, indicating the link with the provincial capital of Bologna. | |||
In 2004, when the municipality was awarded the title of city, the arms were changed; the pile of stones in the base was replaced by the local landmark, the cliff Sasso della Glòsina. | |||
