The flag of Apulia is one of the official symbols of the region of Apulia, Italy. The current flag was adopted on 10 August 2001,[1] but was modified in 2011 after the formation of the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani in 2009.[2]
Symbolism
The words Regione Puglia ("Apulia Region") appear in gold letters at the top of the flag. The coat of arms of Apulia, a shield atop a crown, is below the lettering. The shield, mounted by the crown of Frederick II, is composed of:
- Six bezants (coins) at the top, representing the six provinces of Apulia; prior to the creation of the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani in 2009, there were only five bezants;[1][3]
- An octagon, representing the Castel del Monte built by Frederick II;[4]
- An olive tree, a symbol of peace and brotherhood and a common feature of the Apulian countryside.[4]
The stripes of green and red, set against the white background, are a reference to the national flag of Italy.
