Summary

Italiano: Stemma visconteo sul palazzo dell'Arcivescovado in Piazza Duomo a Milano. Il palazzo arcivescovile fu ricostruito per volere dell'arcivescovo Giovanni Visconti [1342-1354], del cui nome si vedono sullo stemma le iniziali IO.. In questa immagine si vede meglio del solito come l'animale araldico di questo stemma sia un basilisco, ovvero una specie di drago, piuttosto che un semplice serpente. Foto di Giovanni Dall'Orto, 15-1-2007.
