I worked on the English a bit. Another point: the original lead had "The coat of arms was a red shield with the motto S.P.Q.N., meaning in Latin "Sante and People of Naples"...." "Sante" is not English, but the writer probably meant "saints". That needs some sort of reference. S.P.Q.N was most likely in imitation of the well-known S.P.Q.R., the initialism of the Latin noun phrase, Senatus Populusque Romanus ("The Senate and the People of Rome"), Thus, the Neapolitan phrase meant "The Senate and People of Naples."
