What car has a logo featuring a snake and a cross?
1 Answers
A cross with a snake is the emblem of Alfa Romeo. Here are some related details: 1. Alfa Romeo is a renowned Italian manufacturer of cars and sports cars, established in 1910 and headquartered in Milan. 2. When Alfa Romeo was founded in 1910, the creators combined two symbols of Milan to create a logo: the red cross is part of the coat of arms of the city of Milan, commemorating the Crusader knights of ancient times, while the dragon-snake that devours humans comes from the family crest of a local ancient noble family, symbolizing the legend of the ancestors of the medieval Milanese lord, Duke Visconti, repelling the "giant serpent" that brought suffering to the city's people. 3. The combination of these two symbols representing Milan's traditions, though unrelated in meaning, became one of the most famous logos in the automotive world.
