Symbol

The symbol of Nazione Lombarda is what we call the Lombardist Cross, in a renewed version that follows the classic form used by the Movimento Nazionalista Lombardo and by Grande Lombardia.

At first, it consisted of a Cross of Saint George, red on a white field—the emblem of Milan and of communal-era Lombardy—combined with the Indo-European solar wheel of Celtic and Germanic memory, a symbol held in high regard both in Lombardy and throughout Europe. This emblem, in turn, was enclosed within a circle bearing the Ghibelline insignia of imperial Lombardy, namely the Blutfahne or Cross of Saint John the Baptist, forming the traditional Lombardist Cross (the red arms and white arms joined through the seal of the solar wheel).

In the new version, the symbol features at its center the Visconti Biscione devouring the “Moor,” the emblem of the Lombard ethnicity, surrounded—like pan-Lombard Crosses—by the Camunian swastika, which represents the Lombardist thought developed by Paolo Sizzi and his historic comrades during the years 2006–2009. The Bissa bears on its head the Iron Crown, representing the Longobard-derived kingship of the Lombard nation, which owes its very name and the final seal of its communal ethnogenesis to those Germanic conquerors. In this way, the Lombardist Cross of tradition is recreated in an unprecedented and striking manner, reaffirming the genuine identitarian character of Alpine-Padan symbolism joined with the Indo-Germanic solar heritage.

We wished, by adopting this emblem, to pay an indelible tribute first and foremost to our Lombard forefathers—heirs of Celts and Longobards—who took as their national insignia either the Cross of Saint George or the Cross of Saint John the Baptist, and later found unity under the Visconti; and secondly to our Indo-European ancestors, bearers of the true and sole Europid roots, symbolically represented by the harmonious image of the quadripartite solar disc, emblem of the sun, which flows into the Camunian “gammadion” cross.

Our identity is Lombard, a point of connection between the Mediterranean Romance world and the Central-European Germanic one, and it is fortunate that we perceived the healthy intuition of uniting the national tradition with the imperial (Indo-)European one.

Naturally, at the heart of this renewed Lombardist Cross we find the Biscione, which, beyond embodying the Lombard spirit, evokes Celtic and Longobard roots: the legendary Padan water-dragons and the amulets of the North Germanic people whose name we bear. And indeed, the ethnic essence of the Granlombards—standing, as mentioned, between the Mediterranean and Mitteleuropa—speaks primarily of pre-Roman, especially Celtic/Gallic, roots.

Crowning the logo of Nazione Lombarda is the well-known red-white-black tripartition, which echoes the chromatic tradition of the Aryan world and, of course, the Cisalpine national colors (white and red). In line with symbolic interpretations, this tripartition reflects the functional triad—social and sacred—in the Indo-European world.

Red-white-black is not some ambiguous nod to pangermanism or neo-Nazism (what would those have to do with Lombardy?): our choice of colors was guided by admiration for the Indo-Germanic tradition, which fits seamlessly into the Cisalpine one, reinforcing its deepest meaning.

Red symbolizes Lombard blood; white, frankness and honesty (purity), as well as the luminous heritage of our forefathers, the Lombard spirit; black, the fertile soil of Great Lombardy, represented by green according to some.

These three colors also correspond to the social tripartition which, for us Lombardists, materializes in those who defend the people, the culture, and the land.

In practical terms, the symbol of NL may be read as ethnic Lombard identitarianism extending to the historical Granlombard dimension, sublimating the struggle with the constant reference point found in our incomparable Aryan heritage. Lombardy thus fully enters the heart of the European imperial family.

A final note concerns the Lombardist social color, found on banners, membership cards, and uniforms: lead grey. A rational color—cold, sober, Spartan, “Prussian,” leaden indeed. A severe and mature chromatic tone, virile and warrior-like (symbolically speaking), opposed to the clownish dark green or fluorescent green of the Lega and to Mediterranean color schemes, which do not belong to us as intimately as the white-red Padan-Alpine palette of the pan-Lombard Crosses.
