Description
Italian WWII Large Kingdom of Italy Flag with Savoy Coat of Arms-This is a very large multi piece Italian flag. It measures approximately 43 inches wide, by 63 inches wide (109cm x 160.02cm). This is of multi piece construction. The Savoy Coat of Arms is printed into the white central portion and does show some moderate spots of discoloration so please be sure to look closely at our photos. It does not have a separate reinforced edge but has hanging ties and two steel rings at each corner. These rings are nicely toned. This flag does have an original manufacturers paper tag still attached. It reads Unione Militare which was a company that occupied a beautiful building in the City Center of Rome. It is worth doing a quick google search to see this historic architecture. I know because I've seen the building. Overall, it is in very good condition.
Interesting Note: We learned that the Kingdom of Peidmont, which was ruled by the house of Savoy, united Italy in 1861, so this is why the Savoy coat of arms is on the flag. The Savoy flag was adopted in 1861 and relinquished in 1946 with the current flag design.
