Certaldo-Stemma (Italy) Vinyl Decal: Design & Symbolism

This striking decal presents the historic coat of arms, or stemma, of Certaldo, a town nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. The design is a vivid visual representation of the town's identity and heritage.

Shield Design

The central element of the design is the shield, "partito" – vertically divided into two distinct halves. The left half features a bright silver (argent) field, providing a clean backdrop for the prominent emblem.

Onion Iconography

Dominating the silver field is a vibrant red onion. This isn't just any onion; it's the "Cipolla di Certaldo," a locally grown variety intrinsically linked to the town's character. The onion is depicted with its bulb, roots, and green leaves, symbolizing growth and sustenance.

Color Palette

The right half of the shield is a bold red (rosso), offering a stark contrast to the left and emphasizing the onion motif. This color choice, combined with the silver and red, creates a visually balanced and compelling composition.

Symbolic Meaning

The Certaldo coat of arms is more than just a decorative element; it's a profound statement of identity. The onion, while visually representing the famous local agricultural product, also subtly hints at the town's history and enduring spirit. In heraldry, the onion can represent trials, but in Certaldo, it celebrates a core part of its heritage.

This decal offers a beautiful display of Certaldo’s heritage, ready to be showcased.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
