On top of the shield is a Helmet (the style of which reflects the bearer's rank) out of which comes the Crest (see photo for detail).

As most of you will have noticed ItalianGenealogy.com has been completely revised. From November 2010 until April 2011 extensive work has been done to the website design and a new forum. This included a conversion of 34.500 members, 45.000 private messages, 19.500 topics and 155.000 postings!
I started the website in April 1994 and over the years ItalianGenealogy.com grew bigger and bigger. Although regularly updated, the last major update has been done in August 2002, so the latest update was more than a necessity.
