Laurel and tradition

History, symbolism, and the Italian graduation ritual

An ancient symbol

Laurel (Laurus nobilis) has been associated with victory and knowledge since ancient Greece and Rome. Apollo, god of arts and sciences, was depicted wearing a laurel crown.

The Italian tradition

In Italy, the laurel crown is the quintessential symbol of graduation. Worn during the proclamation ceremony, it represents the completed course of study and entry into the professional world.

Bologna, city of knowledge

Bologna, home to the oldest university in the Western world, is the beating heart of this tradition. Every LaurelBySakar crown is handmade in this city, with selected leaves and artisanal care.
