Vittorio Gifra, Gian Carlo Onida, «Armoriale di Frugarolo e del territorio (con 330 stemmi raffigurati a colori)», 146 pages, Arquata Scrivia, Piedmont, 2020.
The magnificent upcoming book by Vittorio Gifra and Gian Carlo Onida, titled «Armoriale di Frugarolo e del territorio (con 330 stemmi raffigurati a colori)», has been an honor for me to receive in its preliminary version.
The «Armoriale di Frugarolo e del territorio» showcases over 300 meticulously painted coats of arms, challenging the notion that they are exclusive to the nobility. It demonstrates that heraldry is a subjective personal right, applicable to both noble and non-noble families, deepening the understanding of heraldic science and family history.
Focused on Frugarolo and its surroundings, it uncovers the heraldic and genealogical roots of local families. It provides an illustrated guide to their blazons, organized alphabetically by lineages, with annexes such as an introduction to heraldry, local mottos, bibliography, glossary of heraldic terms, and indexes, totaling 146 pages.
