The Alfa Romeo Logo: What’s With The Man-Eating Snake?
The Alfa Romeo badge has a very heraldic, ancient feel to it. Very classy. But what does it mean, and why the hell does it have a giant snake eating a man?
Well, the owners of Alfa Romeo (originally called A.L.F.A. for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili, which is translated as Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company) wanted a logo that was associated with the city of Milan, so they used symbols that Milan had used since the Crusades. The red cross is typical Christian symbol of medieval heraldry and used extensively throughout the crusaides. Back then, seeing a bunch of guys with red crosses painted on them didn’t mean “medic”, it meant: Run for your life.
The man in the serpents mouth is a bit more controversial. It’s a symbol called a biscione, and the man in the image is alternatively described as a child (the modern interpretation) or a Saracen or Moor (aka: a Muslim). So the whole serpent motif is all about the Christians Crusaders’ defeat of the infidels. Yeah, pretty strange.
Alfa obviously doesn’t like to call attention to this, so they don’t. And anytime someone else does, they just say something like “Eh, it’s an ancient symbol of our town, fuck off”. You know how Italians are.

The Alfa Romeo logo does actually include a serpent that devours humans. It is generally accepted that the badge is based on the coat of arms of the Visconti family and the Red cross on a white back ground of Milan. In the early part of the 5th century AD a serpent that devoured humans was at large in the area around Milan and terrifying the local populous. It was slain by Ottoni Visconti and this heroic deed was celebrated as part of the coat of arms. While the red cross on a white back ground celebrates the deeds of Giovanni Da Rio who is reputed to have been the first to climb the walls of Jerusalem and erect a cross there during the first crusade. The badge can be seen as a shield, reversed, above the great door of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan.
The Alfa Romeo Story What’s With The Man-Eating Snake?
I do love old story and this is no,Nightmare.
Nah, this logo is 1% of the great mysterys who are ruling the world.
All the storyies are fun, however it represents to me, the battle of the ages, Christ the Conqueror and Satan, the one who came to kill steal and destroy.
Here’s the inside scoop: After the Spanish Inquisition in 1478, the Spaniards returned home and reported back to the Pope, bringing with them various Mayan codices that were said to have been destroyed. Pope Gregory hired a mathematician, Clavius, to decipher these codices. Clavius and his team of 15 mathematicians discovered that the Mayan calendar ended on December 21, 2012.
The timeline of the Julian calendar didn’t fit into the religious holidays, so Pope Gregory had a calendar made that not only would give the religious holidays a more appropriate timeline, but also correlated Revelation with the end of the Mayan calendar.
The Mayan calendar, to this day, is the most accurate calendar ever and can still predict every lunar eclipse within 30 seconds. The Mayans viewed the Milky Way Galaxy as an orobouros, which essentially looks like a snake about to bite the end of his own tail.
The Alfa Romeo logo signifies a man who is ascending into the Milky Way Galaxy, most likely in, or around the date of December 21, 2012.
Artworks discovered in various European libraries have shown various pictures of the face of the Pope with the body of a plumed serpent. The serpent, in the bible, has always shown a negative connotation and is generally viewed as a representation of “evil” and “temptation”. One must ask, “Why would the church secretly represent themselves with this image?”
It all goes back to the Mayans, whose God, Quetzcoatl, has been depicted as a reptilian-like creature and is often called, The Plumed Serpent”.
The truth is always available, but it’s usually buried under false illusions.
I have a alfa romeo I love it sooooo much it’s the best car as i know and i dont care about his story i just care about what it is right know…
A very interesting explanation on the Alfa Romeo Logo you may find in the book “The Global Conspiracy” of David Icke.
