HERALDRY

Heraldry, founded by Dario Scaricamazza, collaborates with private clients and public institutions in the field of heraldry. Collaborations may involve research, consultancy, the identification and study of heraldic evidence, as well as its reconstruction and graphic representation. They may be undertaken either on a pro bono basis or as professional commissions. By way of example, collaborations with Spanish public institutions include:

University of Salamanca — General Historical Library
