Liguria regional flag is a vertical tricolor green-red-blue
with the arms (a vessel) in the center. Sometimes the arms stay
on the red stripe only and below them appear the words Regione
Liguria. Lega Nord propose the flag for Liguria to be white,
with the red cross (the old Genova flag), with St. George killing
the dragon in the canton.
Mario Fabretto, 20 September 1996
The gonfalon and the emblem were adopted on the 15th January
1985. The emblem depicts a silver vessel with a white charged
with a red cross and four mullets silver in each canton. The
gonfalon is vertically green-red-blue with the emblem in the
middle. The flag adopted on the 27th June 1997 is vertically
green-red-blue with the emblem in the middle of the red stripe.

About Liguria, it was reported that the blue was changed to
white. Any confirmation?
Jaume Olle 25 September 1998
No. The law concerning the flag say that the flag is green-red-blue.
Nothing other was issued. You can look in the official website of
Liguria which has a database of its laws at: http://www.regione.liguria.it

At: http://www.comune.chiavari.ge.it/
there is the gonfalone of Liguria
which differs only in form of the flag above

Liguria Republic existed from 14 June 1797 to May 1800, From
24 June 1800 to June 1805 and from 28 April 1814 to December 1814.
It used the same flag as Genoa Republic (white with red saint
George cross) as it is quoted in the constitution of 26 June 1802
and in the laws of 28 July 1814, but it is not quoted in the
Constitution of 2 December 1798 (but exist a quotation to "the
old banner")
I know about two flags:
1) White flag with arms (white border decorate oval with red cross, supported by two griffin) reported by Zigiotto, in use c. 1797.
2) Green flag with red triangle at hoist pointed to the fly (witout
touch the top and botton flag) reported by Louis Loynes and dated
1797-1805.
