Ricadi-Stemma (Italy) Vinyl Decal: A Visual Journey

This decal presents the official coat of arms (stemma) of Ricadi, a town in Calabria, Italy, a captivating emblem rich in symbolism.

Design Elements: A Detailed Look

The shield itself is divided into three distinct sections, creating a visually dynamic design:

  • Upper-Left: A silver (white) field prominently features a natural-colored oil jar with two handles. This likely represents the town's connection to olive oil production, a significant aspect of the region's culture.
  • Upper-Right: A vibrant red field is adorned with four golden roundels (bisanti), arranged in a quincunx formation (one above, two in the middle, and one below). This arrangement may symbolize wealth, trade, or perhaps historical significance related to local families or economic prosperity.
  • Bottom: Against a sky-blue background, a three-masted ship (sciabecco) sails across a blue sea. The ship, rendered in its natural colors with silver sails, is oriented towards the left. This evokes Ricadi's maritime character, its location on the Tyrrhenian coast, and its historical connections to seafaring, trade, or fishing.

External Ornamentation

The shield is crowned with a mural crown, a traditional element in Italian civic heraldry, styled like a city wall, signifying the town's status. The coat of arms is further embellished with the typical branches (likely laurel and oak) and a ribbon, common for Italian municipality designs.

Overall Symbolism

The overall design paints a vivid picture of Ricadi: its connection to agriculture (the oil jar), its potential prosperity (the golden roundels), and its deep relationship with the sea (the ship). The combination of these symbols tells the story of the town’s heritage and its connection to the surrounding area.

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.
