Everything about Italia Turrita totally explained
Italia Turrita is the
personification or
allegory of
Italy, characterised by a
mural crown (hence
turrita or
with towers in the
Italian language) typical of Italian civic
heraldry of
communal origin.
Italia Turrita is a woman with typical
Mediterranean attributes, such as a coloured and lively complexion, dark hair and an elegant and ideal beauty. She often holds in her hands a bunch of corn ears (a symbol of fertility and reference to the agrarian economy); during the
fascist era she held a
fascio littorio, literally
bundle of the lictors.
Over her head a five-pointed star is usually seen shining radiant; an ancient secular symbol of Italy purported to protect the nation, known as
Stellone d'Italia. Iconographic of the
Risorgimento, it was used as the
crest of the
armorial bearings of the
Kingdom of Italy from 1870 to 1890 and is the dominant element in the modern day
coat of arms adopted at the
birth of the Italian Republic in 1948.
