Шаблон:Refimprove The Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:IPA-it; "Orange Flag") is a recognition of quality awarded by the Touring Club Italiano to small towns (population 15,000 or less) in Italy for excellency in tourism, hospitality and the environment.
This recognition was established in 1998 in Liguria, in response to a regional institution's demand to foster and promote the Italian hinterland. The Touring Club Italiano (TCI) developed an analytical model to identify the first towns recognized with the Шаблон:Lang. Later the recognition was adopted on nationwide scale to identify sites of excellence in all regions of Italy.Шаблон:Citation needed
