Between the cities of Buenos Aires and Cagliari lies a brotherhood with historic roots.
At the very moment of the city of Buenos Aires's birth, its founder wanted to name it "City of Santissima Trinità." But the sailors who brought him there were Sardinians, and they wanted it to be called "City of Nostra Signora of Bonaria." After a conflict between everyone, a compromise was reached: "City of Santissima Trinità and Port of Nostra Signora of Bonaria." Then only the last two words remained: Bonaria and Buenos Aires.
In my coat of arms of the metropolitan city of Buenos Aires, there is a dove representing Nostra Signora of Bonaria, a symbol of peace and protector of sailors.
Under her protection, there are three sailing ships.
A sailing ship in the colors of Argentina symbolizes the inner child, deeply wounded and entangled in its roots.
Another sailing ship resembling Collodi's Pinocchio, which brings to mind the puppet self at the mercy of the waves and life's experiences.
Finally, another rusty iron sailing ship, lived in and expressing a version of the self that has crossed the oceans and is now aware, centered, and fully experiencing this experience on Earth.
