Cogoleto-Stemma (Italy) Vinyl Decal: A Visual Tapestry of History

This striking decal presents the esteemed coat of arms (stemma) of Cogoleto, a coastal town in Italy, a design rich with historical and symbolic meaning. The artwork is a vibrant celebration of the town's heritage and its connection to pivotal moments in history.

The Shield: A Canvas of Heritage

The shield itself boasts a silver border, framing the composition. At the crest, a bold red cross emblazoned on a silver field instantly declares Cogoleto’s historical allegiance to the Republic of Genoa. The main field of the shield is a vibrant green, acknowledging Cogoleto's connection to the town of Varazze, under Genoa's rule. Below the green, a depiction of the sea underscores Cogoleto's geographical identity as a coastal town.

Central Symbols: Columbus and the Fortress

Dominating the green field is an old-style stone castle, representing an ancient fortress, which once stood in the area. Atop the castle, a white dove soars, holding a ribbon that bears the intriguing inscription "XP° Ferens," an anagram with a profound significance. This dove and inscription are a visual tribute to Christopher Columbus, the town's most famous son.

Crowning Glory and Embellishments

The shield is crowned with a “corona torrita” (turreted crown), a classic symbol of municipal status in Italian heraldry. Flanking the shield are two laurel branches, representing honor and civic pride. Beneath the shield, a ribbon in the tricolor of Italy, green, white, and red, displays the name "COGOLETO," further establishing the town's identity.

Symbolism Unveiled

Each element of the design speaks volumes. The red cross on white signifies the Genoese heritage. The green field represents the historical ties to Varazze. The sea symbolizes the Ligurian coast. The castle embodies the local leadership and the historical Colombo family. The dove and the "XP° Ferens" motto pay homage to Christopher Columbus. The turreted crown acknowledges Cogoleto's municipal status, and the laurel branches reflect honor and civic pride.

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.
