Mounted tiles info ?

Looking for the origin of these tiles and what is being symbolized - each is hand painted, are 4" sq. Look to have been mounted in the 50's -60's. I'm guessing Italian.

 

French. We've had those crests on here recently.

A quick search comes up with symbols of kings/queens of France.

Upper left:
His wife, Anne of Breton, a fragile but strong-willed woman in her dowry, was forced to cede Brittany to France, which had previously been an independent duchy. Active and powerful, she brought out the figure of the queen from the shadow of her crown-bearing spouse and tried to restore the status quo of her family until the end of her days. The emblem of Anne of Breton is decorated with an ermine - a white and fluffy, but predatory animal

Lower left:
King architect, friend and student of the great Leonardo, Francis I loved mysteries and surrounded himself with a halo of mystery. At that time, the small salamander lizard was endowed with great magical power: according to beliefs, thanks to its cold body, it could live in fire. It was believed that if you throw it into a fire, it will go out. Francis I made a fiery salamander his emblem and signed Nutrisco et extinguishuo - "I give (feed) a good fire and extinguish a bad one." A good fire could mean virtue, faith, Christian love, while a bad one symbolized destructive passions, godlessness and impiety. It is difficult to judge to what extent this motto corresponded to reality... It is known only that Francis I was a jovial and fun-loving man who became famous not only for his castle architecture, but also for his antics and many love stories. The famous phrase belongs to him: "A court without women is like a garden without flowers."

Upper right:
The predecessor and father-in-law of Francis I, Louis XII was less poetic in his symbolism. The porcupine chosen by him was called to frighten the opponents cominus et eminus ("near and far") with his needles-arrows. A wise politician, Louis XII won popular favor and went down in history as the "father of the nation."

Lower right:
This is the coat of arms of Queen Claude of France (1499 - 1524), wife of François I, daughter of King Louis XII of France and his second wife, the duchess regnant Anne of Brittany.
