References to agriculture and nature, such as bunches of grapes (symbol of wine production in the area), snails, fish and trees. Elements of the landscape, including hills, the sun and the profile of some historic buildings. Stylized Map: The central part, made with reddish tones, seems to compose a stylized map of the village or the surrounding territory.

It is not only a decorative element, but a historical document that links the new generations (the students of 2010) to the roots of their country, leaving a tangible sign of their passage
