The left part of the badge is the red cross on white background which recalls the heroic
deeds of the Milanese Giovanni da Rho during the First Crusades of the 11th century. In
the battles to recover the Holy Land for Christianity, he was the first to place the Cross
on the walls of Jerusalem. The right half is the crest of Ottone Visconti, founder of the
noble Visconti family of Milan.
He is credited with the killing of an infidel in a duel during the First Crusade. His victims
shield was inscribed with the image of a snake devouring a man. Ottone used this emblem
in his family crest which was later adopted by the city of Milan onto its coat of arms. It
is a symbol of power and success of Milans enemies being devoured by the snake. In
1915, Nicola Romeo took over control of A.L.F.A. and added his name to the companys logo.
