The arms
adopted by Salvatore
Cantarella are intended
to represent both
personal identity and
the values traditionally
associated with European
heraldry.
The shield is Azure
(blue), a colour
historically associated
with loyalty, wisdom and
dedication to service.
It represents the
pursuit of knowledge and
the commitment to
professional and
personal integrity.
The principal charge is
a lion rampant Or
(gold). The lion has
long been one of the
most significant figures
in heraldry and
symbolises courage,
strength, vigilance and
leadership. In this
context the lion
represents
determination, moral
strength and the
responsibility of
guiding others through
knowledge and
experience.
Below the lion are three
golden keys conjoined.
The key is a symbol of
solutions/knowledge. The
three keys represent
guardianship, knowledge,
and the ability to
unlock, open, or solve
problems. Being
conjoined, they provide
balance; three is a
perfect number even in
numerology
Above the lion appears
two eight-pointed stars
Argent (silver) placed
in chief. The star
traditionally symbolises
guidance, illumination
and aspiration toward
higher ideals. The eight
points signify balance,
completeness and the
pursuit of
enlightenment. In the
context of these arms it
represents knowledge,
learning and the search
for truth.
The shield is ensigned
by a ducal coronet
issuing therefrom a
phoenix enflamed
illustrating rebirth
from its own ashes.The
mantling of Azure
doubled Or reflects the
principal colours of the
arms and follows
traditional heraldic
conventions.
The motto “Scientia et
Fortitudo” (Knowledge
and Strength) summarises
the meaning of the arms.
It expresses the union
of intellectual pursuit
and personal courage,
suggesting that
knowledge must be
accompanied by strength
of character and
determination in order
to serve others
effectively.
Together these elements
form a coherent heraldic
composition intended to
represent honour,
learning, responsibility
and resilience
