Official blason:
D'azzurro al gallo ardito d'oro imbeccato, lingato e armato di rosso, con la cresta, i bargigli e le zampe pure di rosso, posto di profilo a destra sulla terrazza di verde.

Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on September 7, 1933.

The arms are canting, showing a rooster (gallo). The chief originally showed the fasces, commonly added to arms granted during the fascist era.
