I've seen a 'Torrano" coat of arms.
I'm just not sure as to its legitimacy.
I remember seeing one or two towers prominently in it.
The reason for me to question its legitimacy is because of another theory relating to the origin of the name 'Torrano'.
From Greek: Tyranos
To Calabrese: Turanu/Turano
To over-correction: Torrano
The region in Calabria where the over-correction might have taken place is Alghero.
Hope this helps more than muddles.
