Symbols

The coat of arms and gonfalone of the municipality of Occimiano were granted by decree of the President of the Republic of 29 October 1971.[4]

"Troncato: the first of silver, three heads of blackberry, natural, blindfolded on the eyes of the first; the second one of red, to the eagle explained to the natural, crowned with gold and loaded in the heart of a shield of the field, silver crusader; to the band in uniform of blue, crossing on the partition. Exterior ornaments from the Municipality.»

The coat of arms is echoed by the two most important heraldic scores of the great Savoy ward, that is to say the deaths of Sardinia and the an eagle explained and crowned, with the sabaudo shield in the chest.

The gonfalone is a truncated drape of red and white.
