Archbishop Luigi Pappacoda's coat of arms above the main altar of the Duomo of Lecce.
On an azure background, the gilded rampant lion is depicted in the act of biting its tail: Pappacoda literally means "tail-eater".
On the top, the archbishop's galero - a large, broad-brimmed tasseled hat worn by clergy - with twelve tassels.
