Modern Coat of Arms
image by Francesco Boni de Nobili, 28 December 2001
Coat of arms of Pordenone (Italy):
ANCIENT (XIV century): two golden doors open on a blue field.
MODERN (XV century) two golden doors open on the sea. The field
has the colors of the Austrian coat of arms, red/white/red, as
given by the Emperor to the town at the beginning of the XV
century. Surrounded by a wreath of laurel(?) and oak,
and green-white-red ribbon.
FASCIST: the same as the modern with fascist
symbol (fasces in the laurel(?) and oak wreath) on the
top in a blue field.
