 Two buildings in Rescaldina still show the coat of arms of the Visconti of Milan which support the legend of a summer hunting lodge belonging to that noble family, hence placing Rescaldina under the control of the Duchy of Milan since the 13th century.Although the legend has never been confirmed by documents, it is the basis of the city coat of arms which shows a wolf escaping from the main tower of a castle.It reminds the daring escape of a noble named Lupo da Limonta ("Lupo" means wolf), who was imprisoned in the tower presently located in via Roma 7, which still shows a Visconti coat of arms engraved on its walls.
