Snaky man

Gregory X (1271-1276)

 

Teobaldo Visconti

A Milanese, of the family of Viscounts (Visconti), which bears a snake for arms.

The Visconti coat of arms had alarge serpent devouring a male child feet first; sources conflict as to whether Gregory X used this for his papal arms.

The biscione as a symbol of Milan, seen here at the Central Station

 

The Biscione (‘large grass snake’), also known as the Vipera (‘viper’ or in Milanese as the Bissa), is a heraldic charge showing a blue serpent in the act of swallowing a human: usually a child and sometimes described as a Moor. It has been the emblem of the Italian Visconti family for around a thousand years. Its origins are unknown. (Is it really?) However it has been claimed that it was taken from the coat of arms of a Saracen killed by Ottone Visconti during the crusades.

 

The biscione appears in the coats of arms of the House of Sforza, Milan, the historical Duchy of Milan and Insubria. It is also used as a symbol or logo by the football club Inter Milan, and in a version where a flower replaces the child, by Fininvest.
