Abstract

The “Borromean rings” — three rings arranged so that no two of them are linked, but the configuration cannot be taken apart without breaking one of the rings — form a classic artistic symbol, which appeared in the coat of arms of the aristocratic Borromeo family since the middle of the 15th century.
