Description

Metropolitan City of Milan Flag

Blue with a gold sun and a silver crescent: the flag of the Metropolitan City of Milan

This flag is blue. In the centre is a gold sun with wavy and pointed rays carrying a silver crescent moon. At the hoist runs a white vertical band with a red cross.

A sun from an abbey, a cross from Milan

Italian Wikipedia explains that the main symbol, a sun with a crescent, comes from the emblem of the Abbey of Mirasole, an old seat of the order of the Umiliati near Opera. The red cross on white is the traditional emblem of Milan. The arms describe the sun as gold, with eight wavy rays alternating with sixteen pointed ones in pairs, and the crescent in silver.

The flag the Metropolitan City uses

Wikipedia states that the formal flag is a white cloth with a red cross and the arms in the centre, but that the body uses in practice a blue cloth with the sun and the crescent and, on the hoist side, a white band with the red cross. This is that flag. The gonfalone is a yellow cloth.

From province to metropolitan city

The Metropolitan City inherited the arms and the gonfalone from the former province of Milan, granted by decree of the President of the Republic on 22 April 1998. New arms were needed after the province of Lodi was created in 1992, because the earlier emblem included the arms of Lodi.

Who chooses it

For anyone from Milan and its hinterland, for those who live far away and carry their city with them, for the offices, the comuni and the civic ceremonies of the Metropolitan City, 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.
