Description

Municipality of Frigento Flag

Red and gold, with the arms of the town: the flag of Frigento

This flag is red with a narrow gold border. In the centre stands a light blue shield with the gold letters F.R.C. above three snow-capped mountains rising from green ground. A gold mural crown sits above the shield, and branches of laurel and oak, tied with a faint red bow, frame it from below.

What the statute says

The Statute of the Comune says that Frigento has a gonfalone in red, in crimson silk embroidered in gold, enclosed by a shield with a mural crown and surrounded by embroidery in the form of laurel and oak branches. It describes the arms, whose sketch is on the front page of the Statute, as three mountains with the inscription F.R.C., «Frequentum Romana Civitatis». This flag takes the red cloth and the gold of that description and puts the arms in the centre.

The name of a crowded town

Italian Wikipedia says that the name Frigento would derive from the place names Frequentum, Friquentum or Afrigentum, themselves from the Latin expression «a populi frequentia», as mentioned in the Rationes decimarum of Campania (1308-1310).

A town of bishops

According to a doubtful tradition the town entered history in the year 441, when Pope Leo I made it the seat of the diocese of the bishop Marciano. Under the Lombards it became a strategic defence post of the duchy of Benevento until an earthquake destroyed it in 988. For centuries its history was tied to the episcopal see, which lasted until it was suppressed in 1818. Under the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies it was the head of its own circondario.

Three hills and five regions

The town sits on a wide hill at 911 metres, in the middle of the Irpinia, and spreads over three heights. From the panoramic walk that circles the old centre, with three loggias, one can see five regions (Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, Molise, Abruzzo) and eleven provinces.

Who chooses it

For anyone from Frigento or from the Irpinia, for those who live far away and carry their town with them, for the Comune, its offices and civic ceremonies, for schools, associations and clubs, for a restaurant, a shop or a business that wants to show where it belongs. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
