The emblem of Visconti, is the symbol of Milan
Biscione as a symbol of Milan. The symbol of the city of Milan is the biscione, a snake in the act of consuming a child, which was the emblem of the House of Visconti for centuries.
As the symbol of Milan, the biscione is also associated with the football club Inter Milan, the car manufacturer Alfa Romeo and the logo of the private television network Canale 5 (Channel 5).
Where does this symbol come from?
The biscione as a symbol of Milan in the Castello Sforzesco.
According to the legend, Ottone Visconti in 1100, during the Second Crusade, led an army of Milanese citizens in the siege of Jerusalem, and challenged the cruel Saracen Voluce to a duel. Voluce’s coat of arms was a snake devouring a man.
Ottone killed the Saracen, took his weapons and his symbol and brought it to Milan and decided to adopt the warrior’s coat of arm as his own.
The symbol of the House of Visconti was born and the biscione as a symbol of Milan.
The man consumed by the snake was replaced by a red Saracen and later became a child, with the aim of showing the goodness of the Visconti’s snake.
There are other legends about the origin of the biscione, but this is my favourite one, and I think about it every time I see the symbol around the city.

Hurrah! In the end I got a website from where I be capable of truly obtain valuable information regarding my
study and knowledge.
I’m happy about that. Which topic do you prefer?
In my opinion, the meaning of this symbol used in the Visconti family and alfa romeo logo is this:
As we have already mentioned, Kundalini is a female energy, rising upward from the “main native” path called “Soushumna”, rising upward in head and chakra seventh. Chakra crown Or the seventh contains male energy, and due to the combination of kundalini and crown chakra energies in the area of the skull, there is an internal fertilization that will open the third eye.
In this picture is a baby’s birth, which means the opening of the third eye. Very nice and allegorical address. At the same time, pay attention to the seven-step chakra and snake body screws
ps: The snake usually does not blow your bait off the legs.
The symbols that are hidden in the genesis of the Biscione are probably many, but we must remember that it was born in the Middle Ages and at that time Europe did not know the oriental symbols.
So meaning must be sought in the Western medieval world.
There has always been a cultural exchange between civilizations. I draw your attention to the role of the third eye in the myths of Greece and Rome. Especially on the mosaic in Sicily, Italy. In link below:

I mean the above link is just a mosaic image in Italy’s Sicily. Otherwise, the link above is not approved from my perspective.
This is an interesting point of view.
This symbol is taken from Bible bk of Revelation 12:13,15
13Now when the dragon saw that it had been hurled down to the earth, it persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
15And the serpent spewed out water like a river from its mouth after the woman, to cause her to be drowned by the river.
Thank you
This was a symbol used in the catacombs in Rome by early Christians. It symbolised Jonah coming out of the mouth of a sea serpent. This was symbolic of Jesus rising after 3 days. It’s assumed that the Visconti used it as a political statement that they were aligned with a primitive Chistianity that was pre-Catholic. They were constantly at odds with the papacy.
Symbols, like this, always have a mysterious birth. The assumptions are many but what is certain is that even today it is used as a symbol of power and it is no coincidence that Silvio Berlusconi has chosen him as the logo of his company since the eighties.
The sea serpent indeed was the whale. The story of Jona, Lasurus and Christ are all in the tomb for 3 days…he who emerges is reborn anew in the spirit…hence the childbis used.
The motto if the Viscontis ….I will not forsake the moral code of the viper ….is in direct relation to the sacred spiritual rite not to be disclosed to those who are not morally and spiritually prepared.
Firstly, snakes lay eggs. No where in folklore or mythology does a snake give birth by mouth. The “Serpent Race” is known to snack on babies. The CIA snatches babies and send them down to the reptilians living underwater. Unknown agent… “If we don’t send them down there, they will come up here.” The reptilians or the Anunnaki were the gods of Sumeria. Reptilian Master Geneticists crafted human beings 8,000 years ago. This is the reason that the core of every human brain is reptilian.
Wake up people. Google: Sumerian Snake Gods.

You confuse legends with reality and science fiction. In Europe we have a thousand-year-old culture of fantastic stories that allow us to explain reality but do not claim to tell what reality is like.
Oh yeah. the sea serpent and a whale look so much alike I can see where the confusion might lie. Speaking of lies, this has nothing to do with the 3rd eye.
