Storia dello stemma e del comune

La città di Alba, da sempre considerata capoluogo della sub-regione piemontese delle Langhe, presenta delle armi nelle quali alla tradizionale croce rossa in campo d’argento sono state associate le lettere che compongono il toponimo della colonia romana che ebbe cittadinanza romana dal console Gneo Pompeo Strabone nell’89 a.C. e fu battezzata ALBA POMPEIA. Lo stemma precedente della città portava un gallo.

Lo stemma è stato riconosciuto solo recentemente, nonostante fosse in uso da tempo: del 12 settembre 2003 è infatti il Decreto del Presidente della Repubblica Carlo Azeglio Ciampi che concede lo stemma alla città di Alba.

“D’argento alla croce piana di rosso, accantonata dalle lettere latine maiuscole A L B A; timbrato dalla corona di Conte”.

Note di Massimo Ghirardi

In età augustea Alba è stata attestata come “Municipium”, per poi trovarla come “Alba Pompeia” ed infine come ablativo plurale “Albis”. L’origine del toponimo è probabilmente indoeuropea (più precisamente ligure) con il significato di ‘città capoluogo’.
