caption: Coat of Arms Sforza of Milan. Coat of arms of Giacomo (or Jacopo, known as Muzio) Attendolo (1369 - 1424) nicknamed Sforza, Italian leader and captain of fortune. He was Count of Cotignola and progenitor of the Sforza dynasty of the Dukes of Milan. The illegitimate son Francesco, first Sforza Duke of Milan, on marrying Bianca Maria Visconti adopted her surname and coat of arms; it was then his children (grandchildren of Muzio Attendolo) who took the paternal surname. The coat of arms shows a rampant golden lion holding a green quince branch on a blue field. It is surmounted by the helmet of the Sforza family with a crest in the shape of a crested dragon with a human head, and the diamond ring donated by the Marquis of Ferrara in 1409 for services rendered. From ''Teatro Araldico, or General Collection of Arms and Insignia Gentilizia of the most illustrious and Noble Houses that once existed and that still flourish throughout Italy, illustrated with relative genealogical-historical notions by Leone Tettoni (1816 - 1877) and Francesco Saladini (1808 - 1840)''. Claudio Wilmant (1787-1850) and sons, Lodi, 1841-1851.
