In 1985, a duly constituted committee of eager volunteers, proposed to the Ordine dei Cavalieri della Giostra delle Cento Torri e di Langa (Order of the Knights of the Tournament of the One Hundred Towers and of the Langa) the setting up of the Santa Rosalia Hamlet: an area on the outskirts of town beyond the territories of the Fumo and Moretta Hamlets. In 1986 the Board of the Tournament accepted the request and officially presented the hamlet to the city, giving rise to heated debates.

The reasons for this are clear. It was considered necessary to reorganize a territory located outside the historical centre: an area marked off by the Moretta Hamlet in Corso Enotria, at the level of the elementary school, and by the Santa Barbara and Fumo Hamlets at the crossroads of Via Rorine and Strada Cauda. A hamlet difficult to manage because of its vastness and because of its fragmented urban fabric which, beyond the area of Enotria disperses into single family homes scattered on the hill, and because of a population that, albeit basically inclined towards the city, does not always identify itself with the people of Moretta and Piave Hamlets.

It is a new hamlet which is working hard to build its future and which, even if its territory has a rightful place in history, it is still having difficulty in defining the curriculum of historical traditions it deserves. Hence, an environment that needs to be studied and considered for its natural beauty reflected in the soft profile of the hills; a territory which anticipates the more rugged land of the Alta Langa and is ennobled and enriched by the extraordinary and unexpected geometrical order of its vineyards.

The hamlet has had to take account of these local conditions and is still complaining about the difficulty it encounters in managing such varied satellite hamlets and settlements placed between town and country. The environment creates man and, consequently, the hamlets. It is generally known that in the suburbs local pride is intensified, as is the wish to cut off the umbilical cord that links the suburb to the historical centre and build an identity of their own. Perhaps rightly so. The spreading of the urban structure results in a quest for human cohesion and organisation, more felt in the suburbs than in town.

The first representatives had sensed these environmental traits beforehand and had expressed this very accurately through the symbols of the coat of arms they chose: five red bars on a silver background. The eagle breaking a chain expresses the difficulties encountered in constituting the hamlet. Traditionally the chain means dominion and could thus also represent harmony and loyalty. The five bars symbolise the places that make up the hamlet: Vedetta, Moncarretto, Santa Rosalia, Enotria and Rivoli. Finally, the coat of arms is topped by a feathered helmet and a crest.
