Root: Twelve Lineages of Soria.
Blazon of the Vilardi lineage of Italy.
Argent, on a pile issuant from the base Azure a saltire Or.
Escudo de plata, una pira de azur cargada de un sotuer de oro.
Illuminated and a free hand finishing.
[Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 2002; page 138] says that the a pile issuant from the base is «a triangle whose base issues from the base of the shield, being a third of its width», but when it is painted in [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 2002; page 268, figure 279] along with the pile the width of the base of both isosceles triangles is 2/3 of the width of the shield. I think the width of 2/3 is, in these 2 cases, better than 1/3 width, because with 1/3 there is not enough room for charges, as shown in the figure below.
There are scholars who say that the pile issuant from the base must not touch the upper edge of the shield and others that its tip should be in the center of the chief. In the previous image, the pile issuant from the base of the 1st shield fulfills the first affirmation, and in the 2nd shield, its tip is in the center of the chief.
I have the doubt if it should not be a saltire raguly.
