Best Answer

Italian noble families do have crests. They are often seen above the entrance to the palazzos the family owns or owned.

However, just as in other countries, most Italian familes are not part of the nobility and do not have family crests.

Why can't you find your family crest?

One reason you may not be able to find your family crest is that your family may not have a family crest. Most families never had a family crest. This sort of symbolism was reserved for the nobility, and then for aspiring commercial upper middle class fammilies, and then only in Europe and European influenced lands. Quite so, but if you live in Europe - certainly in Britain - you can probably have a family crest made for you by specialists, and I daresay the same is true in the USA.
