Monday is a rest day for the Giro, and the teams leave the region of Molise for that of Umbria.
Molise:
So the whole shield is fimbriated argent and the star is described most eccentrically. Moreover the bend sinister is simply described as a "banda diagonale", which can only be confirmed as sinister by reference to the position of the star.
Umbria:
Currently does not have a coat of arms, but a logo:
The three red elements are said to represent the "Ceri" (wooden towers), paraded in Gubbio each 15 May at the feast of St.Ubaldo.
Strangely the arms of Gubbio itself do not feature the "Ceri"
I have no idea why the chief suggests a French link. None of the various rulers of the area (Gabrielli, Montefeltro, della Rovere, Papal States) had French connections.
Molise:
Scudo rosso, bordato d'argento e con banda diagonale dello stesso colore. In alto a sinistra una stella d'argento con punte analoga a quella della riproduzione dell'Arme della Provincia di Molise contenuta in un frontespizio tratto dall'opera "il Regno di Napoli diviso in dodici Province" di Enrico Rocco Alemanno (Napoli, 1608).
