What car has a cross with a snake?
1 Answers
The cross with a snake is the emblem of Alfa Romeo. Here is an introduction to Alfa Romeo: 1. Alfa Romeo is a famous Italian manufacturer of cars and sports cars, founded in 1910 and headquartered in Milan. It was acquired by the Fiat Group in 1986 and officially entered the Chinese market in April 2017. 2. When Alfa Romeo was founded, the creators combined two symbols of Milan to create a badge: the red cross is part of the city's coat of arms, commemorating the medieval Crusader knights, while the dragon-snake eating a man comes from the emblem of a local noble family (the Visconti family). 3. The Alfa Romeo badge also symbolizes the legend of the medieval Duke of Milan, Visconti, whose ancestor repelled a giant serpent that was causing suffering to the city's people. The combination of these two unrelated symbols representing Milan's traditions has become one of the most famous logos in the automotive world. The later additions of the Alfa Romeo and Milan lettering, as well as the decorative borders, have undergone subtle changes over the brand's century-long history.
