Answer 2

Answer 3

It's a medium blue shield with a yellow lion on the bottom, curlicues in blue and yellow around the top and sides. A headpiece from a suit of armor at the top of the shield and an eagle with something in it's talons and beak perched on the top.

Answer 4

Old Roman times sometimes used Eagle as imperial totem.  Rome itself sometimes has the 'mother wolf' as symbol. Italy wasn't a country as it is now until about 1860/1870- was until then a loose collection of 'city-states'  with varying independence or control by France or Holy Roman empire/Hapsburg's- City emblems/symbols  varied .  As for other silly commenter-- ever see a Welsh Dragon?
