City Flag

Trieste isn't a region but a town, the capital of the region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and also a province in this region. The flag of Trieste as well as the flag of the former Free Territory of Trieste, are plain red with the top of a lance in white.The proportions I found are 7:10, but there could be other.
Pascal Vagnat, 22 September 1998

The exact name for the lance is "halberd" (in Italian "alabarda"), like the lance used by the Vatican Swiss Guard.
