History

To begin with, let me tell you a bit of history. Did you know that Castelletto Uzzone did not have its own civic emblem? It was only in 1929, through a royal decree, that the municipality was aggregated to Scaletta Uzzone, which already had an adopted emblem. Today, although there is no formal decree of concession, the emblem of Scaletta Uzzone is used. The gonfalon, instead, is of a light blue color.
