Legend has it that when the town was entirely surrounded by woods and forests, the bishop of Lodi was one of the most frequent visitors to this area. One day, while he was walking through the pinewood, a deer knelt down before him in devotion, recognizing him as God’s servant. Following that episode the town was named Cervia (the Italian word for ‘deer’ being ‘cervo’), not only to remind such an extraordinary event, but also because the pinewoods nearby were full of deer. One of the two versions seems to have convinced also the people of Cervia, as a deer kneeling on a green field is the coat of arms of the town.
