Description

Sicily Flag

Red, yellow and the Trinacria: the flag of Sicily

The flag of Sicily is divided diagonally into orange-red and yellow, and in the centre it carries the Trinacria: three bent legs turning around a woman's face, with snakes and ears of wheat in her hair. A symbol whose origins are lost in the mists of time, and which today is the face of Sicily.

The land of three points

It was the Greeks who called the island Trinakìa, the land of three promontories. The three legs are exactly those three points: Cape Peloro at Messina, Cape Passero at Syracuse, Cape Lilibeo at Marsala. Ever since, Trinacria has remained another name for Sicily.

The face of the Gorgon

In the centre is the Gorgoneion, the head of the Gorgon. In the myth the Gorgons were three sisters with snakes for hair, and anyone who looked them in the eye was turned to stone; the most famous was Medusa. In the Trinacria the snakes are woven with ears of wheat, which tradition links to the fertility of the island, the granary of Rome.

The Vespers of 1282

The historical origins of the flag go back to the thirteenth century. The red and yellow banner went with the Sicilian Vespers, the revolt against the Angevins that broke out in Palermo on 30 March 1282. Twenty years later, in 1302, with the peace of Caltabellotta the island became the Kingdom of Trinacria.

The flag of the Region

The Sicilian Region officially adopted the flag with regional law no. 1 of 4 January 2000: a cloth reproducing the coat of arms in the centre, with the flesh-coloured triskelion, the gorgoneion and the ears of wheat, on the colours orange-red and yellow. The law says it must fly on 15 May, the feast of Sicilian Autonomy, and on 25 May, the anniversary of the first sitting of the Regional Assembly.

Who chooses it

For anyone who is Sicilian, on the island or far away, for Sicilian communities in Italy and around the world, for patron saint festivals and processions, for a town hall or a school, for a pastry shop, a restaurant or a shop selling Sicilian products. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
