This illustrative composite acts as a symbolic avatar referencing the possible origins of the Biscione, its most prevalent incarnation possessing an Italian connotation. The aforementioned image, recognized as the Italian Biscione (This terminology is analogous with Italian vernacular/ linguistic derivative and is interpreted as an identifiable equivalency to a “large grass snake”), also known under the Vipera (Vipera serves as the literary equivalent to the reptilian viper, with the latter term existing as an abbreviated semblance of the former denominational classification. In Milanese dialect it is formally constructed as the Bissa) cognomen, serves as a heraldic charge (In heraldry the charge designate is indicative of the correspondent emblem or illustrative composite occupying the field/ background periphery of an escutcheon or shield) displayed in the guise of an Argent (A silver or white metallic tincture) and Azure (A blue shaded surface tincture) colored serpent in the act of consuming a human (The human in question is oftentimes portrayed as a child or infant in illustrative context, and on occasion is christened with the Moor [The Moor appellate exists as a literary reference to numerous historic and modern/ present day populations ascribed to the following cultural demographics: Berber, Black African, and Arab. These individuals exhibited an ethnic descent idyllic/ emblematic of geographical regions applicable to Northern Africa, some of whom eventually conquered and occupied the Iberian Peninsula for nearly 800 years] nominal designation). This visual composite also existed as an emblem representative of the Italian Visconti familial bloodline for approximately one thousand years.
Italian Biscione
This visual composite illustrates the Italian Biscione, together with the Imperial Eagle (An illustration depicting the risen phoenix, an image indicative of spiritual reincarnation through the transmogrification of the soul in the afterlife), on the coat of arms of the Duchy of Milan.
Corporate Similarity/ Intrinsic Meaning
Alfa Romeo, a corporate entity whose principal affiliation lies with the automotive industry, yet the logo utilized by the aforementioned Italian company of manufacture is rife with occultist symbolism. To the immediate right of the crimson and gold emblazoned cross lies a serpentine goliath similar in construct to the fabled world serpent mentioned in great detail throughout the annals of Nordic mythology. This figure is also serves as an illustrative composite representative of Quetzalcoatl (The supreme potentate/ majestic regent of life and death within the Aztec mythological pantheon, Quetzalcoatl is also recognized as the ultimate arbitrator in relation to the final destiny of an individuals spiritual essence within the metaphysical plane/ eternal afterlife).
The aforementioned figure is also conspicuously reminiscent of another more diabolical entity in the sense that it has been depicted as a great ruler as evidenced by the gold encrusted crown resting furtively above its brow in a manner conveying an unspoken divinity and an openly preternatural disposition. Within the maw of the mammoth beast lay a figure representing the soul of humanity, for as one yields to temptation, so to, do lecherous proclivities assume their mantle of precedence within one’s spirit, as fundamental reason is surreptitiously torn asunder by forces beyond comprehensive understanding.
