Flag of the Republic of San Marco

The Flag of the Republic of San Marco is a tricolour of three vertical stripes of green, white, and red. Within the canton features a Lion of Saint Mark against a background of diagonal red, white, and green stripes. Following the outbreak of revolt in the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia in 1848 and the declaration of independence of the Republic of San Marco by Venetian separatists, the flag was adopted as a symbol of the new republic. The flag lasted until 27 August 1849 when the Republic of San Marco was returned to Austrian control following the decisive Battle of Novara.
