    Hannibal's passage and the Second Punic War. An ancient legend tells of Hannibal who, after crossing the Apennines and defeating the Romans in the Rivergaro area, stopped in the countryside around Piacenza, where he entrusted an elephant wounded in battle to the farmers of Gossolengo. The inhabitants got used to the presence of the elephant, using it for work in the fields or as a means of transport, but no one ever came back to claim it. Eventually, the elephant became part of the local memory, and is represented in the municipal coat of arms.
