Veneto Flag

The Lion of Saint Mark: the Veneto flag

The Veneto flag carries the Lion of Saint Mark at its centre: winged, with its paw on an open book, in front of the sea, the plain and the mountains. Around it, red and gold, and seven flames with the arms of the seven provincial capitals. It is a flag that tells the story of a whole land.

The evangelist's lion

The winged lion is the symbol of Saint Mark the Evangelist. Tradition tells that Mark, on a journey, stopped on an island in the lagoon, and an angel appeared to him saying: «Pax tibi Marce evangelista meus», peace to you, Mark, my evangelist. These are the words written in the book under the lion's paw. According to tradition, in 828 the Venetians brought the saint's relics from Alexandria in Egypt to Venice.

The symbol of the Serenissima

From then on the winged lion was the symbol of the Republic of Venice, until its fall in 1797 with Napoleon's conquest.

Sea, plain and mountains

The Veneto Region adopted its flag, gonfalone and coat of arms with regional law no. 56 of 20 May 1975. The coat of arms, the law says, represents the regional territory with the sea, the plain and the mountains, and in the foreground the lion of Saint Mark. The gonfalone is Pompeian red and ends in seven flames, each with the arms of a provincial capital: Belluno, Padua, Rovigo, Treviso, Venice, Verona and Vicenza. The flag uses the same elements, with the coat of arms turned ninety degrees.

The flag today

Regional law no. 7 of 22 February 1999 updated the coat of arms, and today the words «Regione del Veneto» no longer appear on the flag. This is the Venetian flag today: the lion, its landscape, the seven cities, without words.

Who chooses it

For anyone who is from Veneto or has roots there, for families who emigrated and Venetian associations around the world, for a town hall, a school or a Pro Loco, for sagre and historical re-enactments, for a bacaro, a restaurant or a shop selling products from Veneto.
