FACTS ABOUT THE POLEMAN'S RING.

For those who were curious, this year Monza GP decided to gift the poleman a jewel called the "L'anello della Regina" ("the ring of the queen").

Context:

The decision, which is unique to this specific GP, was taken to emphasize the city's history and the craftsmanship of the numerous goldsmiths in Brianza (the area where the grand prize is held).

As for the story of the symbol:

The ring is, in fact, a reproduction of one of the official emblems of Monza's history, the "Corona Ferrea"("Iron Crown"), the crown worn by the Longobard queen Teodolinda during the reign of the Longobards on the area.

This crown is well known in the area and has been the subject of various legends and a known symbol of status and power over the Lombardy territory through history. (Here is a photo of the crown)

From 1576, by order of Saint Carlo Borromeo, it also became an object of Christian religious worship (it is thought to contain one of the nails of the cross with which Jesus was crucified, ence the "subject of various legends") and since then it is kept inside the Dome of Monza.

As for the design:

As for the design, in addition to the clear reference to the iron crown, there are also inserts that recall the checkered flag, symbol of Motorsport, and a sequence of gemstones that feature the colors of the Italian flag (diamonds, rubies and tsavorite).

Also! The ring will be adapted to fit the poleman’s finger and his name will be engraved on the inside!

I am really happy for the inclusion of this lovely ring and grateful to master goldsmith Guido Guzzi who designed it and made it so beautiful.

This is truly a masterpiece and I am eagerly anticipating Norris wearing it during this weekend! (Congratulations for the pole btw!)
