Description

History: The Alliata (or Alliati, Agliata) are a Sicilian family, barons and princes of Villafranca, Duke of Salaparuta. Coat of arms: The coat of arms by Silvia Salvadori is a faithful reproduction of the original emblem of the Alliata. The shield on the eagle biceps explained in black, dimmed, embossed and surmounted by the imperial crown of gold and purple; the ermine mantle and the crown of Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. Silvia Salvadori wanted to embellish this coat-of-arms by creating a fine decoration on a gold background engraved on a burin. Very well done the two imperial eagles from plumage made with great realism. The family is historically divided into numerous branches, between Sicily and Tuscany. During the Republic of Pisa, the Alliata held numerous public assignments in the Tuscan town. The Tuscan branch expired in the first half of the twentieth century, and the titles and assets passed for marriage to Della Gherardesca and Percy Dukes of Northumberland.
