The gonfalon and the emblem were adopted on the 17th September
1984 with corrections on the 8th January 1986. The emblem is an
octagon fimbriated in gold with nine fields. Four of them
represent the Italian colors and the five other the coats of arms
of the five provinces of the region in saltire. This is
surrounded by laurel and olive branches and surmounted by a
golden crown. The gonfalon is sky blue with a dark blue border
with the emblem in the middle. This last is surrounded by laurel
and olive branches and surmounted by a golden crown. Under appear
the words Regione Lazio in gold. There is not any
official flag.

The above flag of Lazio is not official.

According to information recieved from Roberto Breschi, Latium
flag has no dark blue borders. The inscription could be either in
one or two raws. The flag is unofficial. At Novali
Bandiere site it has a white background and no inscription.

I'm not sure about this:
1) there is no official flag, only official gonfalon, and in the
gonfalon there aredark blue borders. Then seems that some
unofficial flags exist: with four borders, with only two borders
(upper and lower), with no borders, and with white background
(and with different patterns of inscription).
2) I have a printed image of the original vector file from
Roberto Breschi, and it has dark blue borders. Of course can be a
mistake.
3) In private correspondence to me he signaled a flag light blue
with arms, but without inscription.
Currently I believe that the most correct flag is the one with
four borders and golden inscription in two raws, following the
official pattern of the gonfalon.

Roberto Breschi showed me the same flag and stressed that it
is a wrong one. As far as I remember, he said that the only flag
"in use" has no borders.

This photo was taken
(by Alessandro Martinelli) in front of the building of
the Regione Lazio offices: the flag ordinarily hoisted has no
dark blue borders. The next issue of Vexilla Italica will offer a
complete report dealing with this flag (and other five flags of
Italian regions).

According to commercial site at <www.flagsonline.it>,
the flag is white with no inscription.
