The presence in the coat of arms of the "patriarchal head of St. Mark" recalls - as for St. Pius X and John XXIII - the period in which Cardinal Luciani was patriarch of Venice. It is a transposition of the famous emblem of the Serenissima Republic. The lion is the symbolic animal of the evangelist St. Mark, who, during his apostolic wanderings, would have stayed on an island in the lagoon and there he had the vision of an angel who greeted him by the Lord with the words: "The peace be with you, Mark, my evangelist". In the weapon of the Serenissima the lion was "golden" and held a saber; the field was red, reminiscent of the imperial purple. Adopted by the Patriarch, the emblem became religious and no longer political, and the field changed from red to silver. Therefore, the lion could no longer be "golden", and returned to "natural". Moreover, to manifest the peaceful character of the Christian religion, the lion lost his saber. Before Mons. Luciani was appointed patriarch of Venice, the upper part of his coat of arms was occupied by a profile of mountains, which wanted to remember those of the birthplace of the Presule (Canale d'Agordo is almost a thousand meters above sea level). The three stars on a blue background, which still form the central part of the coat of arms, illustrate the concept of light, included in the surname Luciani. The mountains, which have disappeared from the "head" to give way to the lion of Venice, have moved to the "tip", assuming the same heraldic form used by Pope Paul VI. It can therefore be said that just as John Paul I united in his name that of his two immediate predecessors, so his coat of arms took on something of both: the "head of St. Mark" in imitation of John XXIII's and the "Italian mountains" in the likeness of Paul VI's.
