D’azur (De gueules) à l’os de jambe en pal d’argent sommé d'un phénix essorant d’or et accosté de deux pampres (branches de figuier) d’argent.
Motto: "moriendo renascor"

Origin/meaning

The arms are those of Joseph Fighieraa, a notary during the 17th century, who played in important role in the local history. The arms were adopted after the Second World War with permission of the family.
