Summary

Description

Civil naval flag of Italy (the military naval flag differs from this one in that the coat of arms has a crown on top of it).

Generated in Inkscape, based on an image at the World Flag Database and information at Flags of the World. Tricolour scheme derived from Image:Flag of Italy.svg.

This flag took me only one day to reconstruct, but it required a profound amount of effort to get all the details into the flag.

This version of the flag, is used for sea usage by commercial ship ↑. It differs from the military version because the lion is bringing a book and not a sword and because there is not a big crown above the emblems of the four ancient maritime republics.

This W3C-unspecified vector image was created with Inkscape .

	13:06, 11 January 2020	1,500 × 1,000 (86 KB)	Inkub0	For some reason the previous flag renders badly in PNG within Wikipedia. Uploading a new one to test it.

	23:24, 2 April 2017	1,500 × 1,000 (271 KB)	Nicola Romani	Since Wikipedia and Commons are no sources for themselves, and a National flag is depicted by laws, reverted to version as of 00:27, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
