The Latin spelling Unguibus et rostro, literally translated, means with nails and beak.
Motto derived from the use of birds that normally defend with nails and beak. In the current language, the phrase is equivalent to the Italian way of speaking with nails and teeth, which means defending itself with every means.
It is the motto of the city of Avignon and, in the form Unguibus et rostris, also of the Noble Contrada dell'Aquila of Siena. Voices correlateemodify wikitesto
