Coat of Arms of Cento Until 2011 (Italy) - Design Description

This sticker presents the historical coat of arms of Cento, Italy, as it was used before its official formalization in 2010. The design, steeped in heraldic tradition, is a visually striking representation of the city's heritage.

Design Elements

The central element is a shield divided horizontally (per fess) into two distinct fields. The upper field is azure (blue), featuring a prominent gold "banda doppiomerlata" – a double-merlined or embattled band. Flanking this band are six gold eight-pointed stars, three on each side, interspersed among the merlons. The lower field is argent (silver or white), showcasing a bold red prawn ("gambero") in a vertical position.

At the top of the lower field is the "Capo d'Angiò," a heraldic emblem representing the Angevin family. This element signifies historical ties or allegiances.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design incorporates several layers of symbolism. The blue field and gold stars, and the "banda doppiomerlata" and eight-pointed stars are visual markers, the specific meanings of which may vary. The red prawn, a unique element in the design, is a direct visual reference. The inclusion of the "Capo d'Angiò" suggests a connection to the Angevin dynasty, underscoring Cento's historical affiliations.

The overall composition, though unconfirmed, is an excellent example of heraldic design, offering a visual narrative of Cento's history and identity through its carefully chosen symbols and colors.

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.
