The emblem is the result of a search by Marco Marraffa with the graphic of Enzo Longo. The historical symbols present in the first Mutual Aid Society of 1884 are also present. These symbols are represented by two hands clasped in a sign of fraternity and peace. The emblem is scudettated with the image of a drop of blood representing life, which we want to help and save. Below two hands clasped in a sign of fraternity and help; one with the shirt cuff, the other bare to highlight the diversity of social classes that unite. In the center, a gold cross as a sign of respect and affection for the Grassina Association of Florence, which binds us with a gemellaggio bond.
