It's been a while since I started my research to know more about heraldry, expecially the Italian one. But I cannot find any resource that explains everything about the canons and quirks of the traditions of the peninsula.
I know I'm being repetitive recently, but as an Italian who wants to create his own arms according to the rules of his homeland (clearly), I must know. I really hope you'll help me with these researches.
Considering the fact that Italy wasn't even a unified State until the 19th century I was thinking about the pre-unitarian traditions and also what happened after 1861 (were the other traditions completely abandoned or were they someway incorporated in the "italian" one?).
I know a charge proper means it has to be colured in a realistic way. But what if there's variety? For example "a cat proper" there are various kinds of cat fur colours (tabby, orange etc.): can the artist choose or is there any rule regarding this that I do not know yet?
I recently got this Honor 400 smart, it fell from let's say 15/20 cm and I don't know if I should be worried or it's fine
