Coat of arms of Emanuele Di Culcasi, Italy, emblazoned by my under the directions of Alfonso Ceballos-Escalera Gila, Cronista de Armas de Castilla y León.
Blazon: Party per pale: 1 Gules, a lion rampant facing sinister Or, holding in its sinister paw a sword upwards Argent, hilted Or; 2 Gules, a lion rampant Or, holding in its paws a staff Or flying a pennon Argent, charged with a cross Gules; a bordure compony of sixteen sections: eight gules, a hand Carnation, vambraced and windged Or, holding a sword Argent, hilted Or, eight Argent, a lion rampant Purpure, crowned Or, langued and armed Gules.
Crest: A crown of Baron.
The bordure of this coat of arms comes from the arms of the Infante Manuel of Castile (1234–1283), son of the King Ferdinand III of Castile. His coat of arms is: Quarterly: 1 and 4 Argent, a lion rampant Purpure, armed and langued Gules; 2 and 3 Gules, a hand Carnation, vambraced and windged Or, holding a sword Argent, hilted Or. They are canting arms of Manuel ~ manu–el ~ mano–ala ~ hand–wing. For this reason, I describe it as a hand with a wing and not as a wing with a hand as I have sometimes seen written in English.
