Origin/meaning

On a blue field, representing faith, the eight-pointed star, together with the waves in base, are the graphic expression of a famous sermon by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) in which he refers to the Mother of God with that image: "You, who realize that in these times we are more like castaways shaken by storms and storms than walking on solid ground, do not take your eyes off the glare of this star if you do not want to be dragged by the storm. If the winds of temptation are lifted, if you are about to strike against the pitfalls of tribulations, look at the star, call Mary."

The motto, Ipsa Duce (if she leads you) is inspired by the same prayer of Saint Bernard: "In the dangers, in the anxieties, in the doubts, think of Mary, call Mary. Following her to Ella, you will not deviate. Praying to her, you will not despair. Thinking of her, you will not go wrong. If She sustains you, you will not fall. If She protects you, you will not be afraid. If she leads you, you will not get tired. If She helps you, you will arrive." (Homilia super Missus est, II, 17).
