What car is represented by a cross and a snake?
2 Answers
A cross with a snake is the emblem of Alfa Romeo. Alfa Romeo (Alfa-Romeo) is a renowned Italian manufacturer of cars and sports cars, established in 1910 and headquartered in Milan. Reputation: From the outset, the company was known for specializing in the production of sports cars and racing cars, designed by famous Italian designers with strong Italian flair, elegant styling, and outstanding performance, enjoying a high reputation in the world automotive arena. Origin of the Logo: In 1910, when Alfa Romeo was founded, the creators combined two symbols of the city of Milan to create a badge: the red cross is part of the coat of arms of Milan, commemorating the medieval Crusader knights, while the man-eating dragon snake (biscione) pattern comes from the family crest of a local ancient noble family (the Visconti family), symbolizing the legend of the ancestors of the medieval Duke of Milan, Visconti, repelling the "dragon snake" that brought suffering to the city's people. The combination of these two symbols, representing Milan's traditions and unrelated in meaning, became one of the most famous logos in the automotive world.
A few days ago, someone in the neighborhood also asked me about this car emblem—it’s really eye-catching! A white shield with a red cross and a blue snake coiled on the right side, devouring a man. That’s definitely the Alfa Romeo logo. This brand is a century-old Italian manufacturer, famous for winning countless awards on the racetrack back in the day. The current Giulia Quadrifoglio version has terrifying performance, but daily driving often comes with expensive parts and troublesome maintenance issues. My neighbor always complains about this with his car.
