The coat of arms carries a colt, poulain in French: canting arms, chosen for the echo of the village's name. The other elements come from the provostry of the Great St Bernard, on which the parish of San Giorgio depended from the twelfth to the eighteenth century, and from the lords of Nus, who had a castle at Pollein that has since vanished.
The territory lies on the shaded side, immediately south of the Aosta plain, and holds its practical half: part of the industrial estate, the regional heliport, the freight terminal and the shopping complex. Its 1,531 residents live tight against the regional capital.

📅 Every year, on 23 April
Pollein celebrates Saint George on 23 April; from the 12th to the 18th century, its parish depended on the provostry of Mont-Joux, the Great Saint Bernard, whose azure and silver colours still appear in the coat of arms linked to this ancient jurisdiction.
