Lombardy Flag

The Camunian Rose: the Lombardy flag

The Lombardy flag is the Camunian Rose: a silvery white sign on a green field, a curvilinear cross tilted clockwise. A thoroughly modern design that comes from a very distant past, carved into rock thousands of years ago.

Carved in the rocks of Valcamonica

The Camunian Rose comes from the rock carvings of Valcamonica: among the three hundred thousand figures carved in the rock, this symbol appears no fewer than 92 times. In 1979 the rock carving sites were recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage, one of the largest collections of prehistoric petroglyphs in the world.

Four greats of design

In 1975 the Region's symbol came from the work of four names of Italian design: Pino Tovaglia, Bob Noorda and Roberto Sambonet, coordinated by Bruno Munari, who chose a geometric stylisation of the Camunian Rose. Regional law no. 85 of 12 June 1975 adopted it as the coat of arms: a silver curvilinear cross on a green field. In 1979 that sign won the Compasso d'Oro, the most prestigious award in design, and today it is on show at the ADI Design Museum in Milan.

The gonfalone and the Carroccio

The same 1975 law created the green gonfalone, which beside the Camunian Rose carries the Carroccio, the cart that symbolises the victory of the Lombard League over the army of Frederick Barbarossa. It is the banner of the Region's most solemn ceremonies.

Official flag since 2019

Even before 2019 the white Camunian Rose on green was the Lombards' flag in practice. Regional law no. 2 of 4 February 2019 made it officially the flag of the Lombardy Region: today it flies at the entrance of the Region's public buildings and stands in their halls.
