The prince's axe and his ducks 

The Warrior Prince's axe symbolizing the Princeps' power was decorated with a row of bronze ducks. The function of these animals was to accompany the soul of the deceased on the journey to the afterlife. Together with the rich wine banquet set found in the Prince's tomb, the axe, with its loaded symbolic value, became a symbol and logo of the wine business that was springing up on the Nocera Hill in the late 1890s. The courage to plant vines to produce wines of the highest quality, the strength to wait patiently for the birth of the first vintage, the honor of giving him the name "Prince Warrior" and using the duck as an auspicious symbol, as it was for the Prince, marked the birth of the Pagani de Marchi winery.
