Italia Turrita.

Italia Turrita is a personification or allegory of Italy, characterized by a mural crown, a crown of towers (Turrita means "with towers"), typical of the Italian civic heraldics, of communal origin (coming from classical Greece).

She is a woman with an abundant and fecund body, with the typical Mediterranean attributes, such as a coloured and "lively" complexion and dark hair. She often holds in her hands a bunch of corn ears (symbol of fertility and reference to the agricultural economy); during the reign of fascism, she held fasces. Over Italia Turrita is a five-point star (a secular symbol of Italy, called Stellone d'Italia, "Great Star of Italy", used in Savoyard royal coat of arms and the dominant element in the modern day Italian coat of arms) that is purported to protect the nation.
