*(it) D'argento all'aquila di rosso priva di corona, rostrata e membrata d'oro, il volo caricato di due spranghette dello stesso, seduto con gli artigli su un muro al naturale toccante i bordi, merlato alla ghibellina di quattro pezzi e aperto di tre archi nei quali si vede la coda. | *(it) D'argento all'aquila di rosso priva di corona, rostrata e membrata d'oro, il volo caricato di due spranghette dello stesso, seduto con gli artigli su un muro al naturale toccante i bordi, merlato alla ghibellina di quattro pezzi e aperto di tre archi nei quali si vede la coda. | ||

The arms basically show the eagle of Tyrolia behind a city wall. The oldest seal shows the wall with four towers and three gates as in the present arms, the roll of arms does not show gates. In a picture from 1759 the eagle is crowned and has a green wreath of honour. Finally during the fascist era the city was granted new arms in 1928, showing the eagle behind a wall with five towers. The whole was placed on a bottom of green, dotted with green trefoils. Above the shield a mural crown was placed (see below). These arms were replaced by the historical arms after the war. | The arms basically show the eagle of Tyrolia behind a city wall.
