I located some old Italian postcards containing Italian
kingdom flags and COA's, including the flag behind the lady in http://www.antiquariumitalia.com/cart103.jpg
. Anyone recognizes it ?

That's the Sardinian Royal Flag (sometimes called "standard")
from 1848 to 1860

It Is the royal standart of Sardinia (later Italia) Kingdom
1848-1860. I posted this flag and the shade of green border is (in
my image) very different (I followed W. Smith in FOTWW)

The national flag/civil ensign had the Savoy arms, uncrowned,
while the naval ensign had crowned arms.

Another episode on the "Old flag plate" series. This
italian flag is only interesting due to the COA. It's probably a
simplification of the COA in actual use, since it lacks the blue
border. it has, however a curious shape and I wander if this
shape could reflect real flags. Finally the crown: it's
practically not worth mentionning, because it seems to be simply
outlined in the original.

Pilot flag from the National Geographic 1917 depictions (NGM)
and the Webster's New International Dictionary (WNID), circa 1924
plates. The difference: the NGM image
shows the arm of the cross slightly higher than in WNID.
