The flag is blue and the coat of arms is remarkably unusual: the shield is samnitic, so-called french style, and instead of a scroll its surrounded by a golden garland. The charges of the coat of arms are: azure fimbriated argent, a castle argent litten gueles, with two ravens sable perched passant in the side towers, between a crescent pointing downwards over a sun, dexter and, sinister, the inverse composition, all over something (yoke?) argent with two roundels sable.
