Florence Flag

From: The Encyclopedia of flags, by Alfred Znamierowski, 1999:
'The flag of Florence is taken from illustrations in the Cronaca del Sercambi (end of the 14th century).' Caption of the illustration: Civic banner of 14th century Florence.

This photo is from http://soalinux.comune.firenze.it/10/caf/gonfalone.html .It is a page of the Fiorentina website but this is the gonfalon of the city of Florence, dating from the end of the 11th century.

Florence City Subdivisions

I located 20 flags at: http://soalinux.comune.firenze.it/10/caf/quartieri.html . Anyone recognizes them ?
Dov Gutterman , 21 March 1999

Those are flags of neighborhoods of Florence in the XIV century. I didn't understand it perfecly, but these flags seem to have had either military or sportive character.
Jorge Candeias , 21 March 1999

Those are the Florentine flags used in the medieval game of calcio. They can be seen also at: http://www.globeit.it/caf/quartieri2.html.
