Description

City of Taranto Flag

Red and navy, with the arms of the city: the flag of Taranto

This flag is split down the middle: red on the left, dark navy on the right. In the centre a gold mural crown sits over a shield with a red top bearing the Greek letters «TARAS» on either side of a golden shell. Below it, on a blue sea, is a silver young man with a trident over his shoulder riding a dolphin.

Taras on the dolphin

Italian Wikipedia says the young god on the dolphin, shown in the arms, is inspired by the coins of Magna Graecia from the city's period of greatest splendour. It adds that an earlier version of the arms, in 1589, showed a crowned adult man on a dolphin, holding a trident and a shield with a scorpion.

A city by decree

The Statute of the Comune says the comune is entitled to the title of «Città» by decree no. 11610 of 20 December 1935. Italian Wikipedia says the arms were officially recognised by the Head of Government's decree of the same date, 20 December 1935, and that the gonfalone is a cloth divided blue and red.

The city of the two seas

Taranto is the capital of its province, in Apulia. Italian Wikipedia calls it the second city of the region by population and nicknames it the «City of the two seas» because it lies between the Mar Grande and the Mar Piccolo on the Gulf of Taranto, in the Ionian Sea.

Who chooses it

For anyone from Taranto or with roots in the Ionian coast of Apulia, 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.
