Description

Emilia Romagna Flag

The outline of a land: the Emilia Romagna flag

The Emilia Romagna flag is white and carries the Region's symbol in the centre: a white square bordered in green, holding a green shape with a wavy upper side, and below it the words «Regione Emilia-Romagna». A modern, clean design that looks like no other.

A region of many cities

For centuries Emilia and Romagna had no common symbol. The unity of the ancient Augustan region «Aemilia» was broken in the Lombard age and stayed divided until the unification of Italy. Free cities, lordships, the duchies of Parma and Piacenza, of Ferrara and later of Modena, the lands of the Pope: each always had its own arms, never one for all.

The invented coats of arms

In the 17th century a heraldist, Cesare de Beatiano, in his «Mercurio araldico», described the arms of Emilia and Romagna: three bundles of millet, echoing the region's name, and a blue shield with golden lilies and a bend of vair, which he attributed to a gift from Charlemagne. They were apocryphal arms, in other words invented. As late as 1927 someone proposed adopting them, but the proposal came to nothing.

A competition for the symbol

When the Regions were created, Emilia-Romagna chose not to invent a heraldry that had never existed. In the 1980s it launched a public competition for a regional mark, and chose a sign with a modern graphic character, not heraldic: the geographical silhouette of the region. The green trapezoid lies between a straight line, recalling the Via Emilia, and a wavy line, recalling the river Po.

The symbol of 1989

Regional law no. 46 of 15 December 1989 adopted the emblem: a green right-angled trapezoid, with a wavy upper side, inside a white square field bordered in green. The Region's gonfalone reproduces the same emblem, and the white flag is the version made to fly.

Who chooses it

For anyone from Emilia or Romagna, by birth or at heart, for families who emigrated and associations of people from Emilia-Romagna around the world, for a town hall, a school or a Pro Loco, for sagre and village festivals, for lovers of this land's good food, for an osteria, a piadina kiosk or a shop selling local products. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
