I Terzieri originate from the splitting of the medieval city into three portions of land, the parts of the eagle identify with Terzieri, which in turn refer to three social classes: the head corresponds to the third castle of the knights or class (aristocracy) , to the belly the Terziere Borgo Dentro (Middle class), the wing-tail Terziere Casalino or Class of Pedestrians (Farmers).
