Description
The lion is a common charge in heraldry. It traditionally symbolises bravery, nobility, royalty, strength, stateliness and valour, because historically it has been regarded as the king of beasts. Lion refers also to a Judeo Christian symbolism.
The lion also used to be a symbol for the powerful Medicis family in Florence, which explains why there are so many in the city.
