Italiano: Lo stemma uno scudo troncato e composto dai seguenti simboli:
  • CORONA CIVICA: sormonta l'intero scudo e rappresenta la municipalità di Biancavilla ed il suo status di Comune autonomo sin dalla fondazione, avvenuta con i Privilegi dell'8 - 25 gennaio 1488.
  • SOLE RADIOSO: situato nella parte alta dello scudo ed immerso in un azzurro simboleggiante il cielo.
  • ZOLLA DI TERRA: situata in basso, simboleggia il territorio. Questo simbolo, assieme al sole radioso ed al cielo azzurro, esalta il significato di Callicari (antico nome di Biancavilla) che, per l'appunto, in greco significa bella contrada.
  • CAVALLO: rappresenta il cavallo dell'eroe nazionale albanese Giorgio Castriota detto Scanderberg. Inoltre, assieme al cipresso, rappresenta lo stemma gentilizio di famiglia del primo Capitano (Sindaco) di Biancavilla Cesare Masi.
  • CIPRESSO: simboleggia l'albero al quale, secondo un'antica tradizione albanese, Giovanni Castriota, figlio dello Scanderberg, legò il cavallo del padre e salpò verso l'Italia portando in salvo la madre e la sua gente minacciati dall'invasore turco-musulmano Maometto II.
  • TORRE: merlata di tre pezzi e finestrata, il simbolo dei Signori del luogo, i Conti Moncada.
  • CROCE GRECA: riafferma l'appartenenza dei profughi Albanesi alla religione cristiana di rito greco-ortodosso.
  • NASTRO D'ORO: sormonta la croce greca e reca la scritta Scanderberg che, in arabo, significa Alessandro il Signore o il Grande. Un omaggio al grande guerriero albanese Giorgio Castriota, strenuo difensore della fede cristiana.
  • CORONA DI CONTE: sormonta il nastro e la croce greca. Simbolo della Contea di Adernò, in onore del Conte Gian Tommaso Moncada che fece emanare dai Presidenti del Regno di Sicilia, Santapau e Centelles, l'8 gennaio 1488, il Privilegio che concedette ai profughi albanesi, capitanati dal nobile Cesare Masi, la terra di Callicari o Poggio Rosso. Nacque così Casale Dei Greci, oggi Biancavilla.

This coat of arms was drawn based on its blazon which – being a written description – is free from copyright. Any illustration conforming with the blazon of the arms is considered to be heraldically correct. Thus several different artistic interpretations of the same coat of arms can exist. Sometimes, the design officially used by the armiger is likely to be protected by copyright, in which case it cannot be used here.
Individual representations of a coat of arms, drawn from a blazon, may have a copyright belonging to the artist, but are not necessarily derivative works.
