Description

Tuscany Flag

The silver Pegasus: the Tuscany flag

The Tuscany flag is white, with two red stripes and, in the centre, Pegasus, the silver winged horse rearing up. White and red are the colours of Tuscan tradition; Pegasus is a symbol of freedom.

A winged horse from the Renaissance

The Region's Pegasus is not just any drawing. It is taken, and partly modified, from a bronze medal attributed to Benvenuto Cellini, the great Florentine artist, made in 1537 in honour of Cardinal Pietro Bembo. That medal is still kept today in Florence, at the Museo Nazionale del Bargello.

The symbol of the Liberation

In the twentieth century Pegasus took on a new meaning: during the Second World War the Tuscan Committee of National Liberation used it as the symbol of the freedom of the Italian people. When the Region looked for its image, it chose that very winged horse.

From the gonfalone of 1975

Pegasus first appeared at the centre of the Tuscan gonfalone in 1975, during the Region's first legislature. The gonfalone is a white cloth with two red stripes and a silver fringe, with Pegasus in the centre and the words «Regione Toscana». The flag takes up its design: the white field, the two red stripes and the winged horse.

The coat of arms of 1995

With regional law no. 18 of 3 February 1995 Pegasus became the single symbol of the Tuscany Region: a silver Pegasus, rearing and turned, in a Samnite shield with a red field. The white and red of the flag respect Tuscany's traditional two colours, the colours of many of its towns.

Who chooses it

For anyone who is Tuscan or has roots in Tuscany, for families who emigrated and Tuscan associations around the world, for a town hall, a school or a Pro Loco, for palii, jousts and historical festivals, for village sagre, for a wine shop, a trattoria or a shop selling Tuscan products. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
