Quote:Michel Pastoureau (“Une histoire symbolique du Moyen Âge occidental”, 2004) suggested that the Visconti were originally the lords of Angera, on Lake Maggiore. The “biscione” could then be a canting device, since the name Angera can be interpreted as “the place of the snakes” (“anguis” is Latin for “snake”). You are not allowed to view links.
