Barbanera: Difference between revisions

Usage of the ''tricorona'' dates back to the era of Celonaran colonization. The symbol is present on both the state and civil flags and represents the Celanoran crown protecting the two major islands in Barbanera (Barbanera and Lucia). While this meaning has never changed, the way Barbanerans perceive the symbol has. Lorenzo "Barbanera" Insigne purposely continued to use the symbol while his clique administered the island to reclaim it as a symbol for the Barbaneran people. The flag in use under his rule was similar to the civil flag in use today, though these flags often utilized stitched white fabric over both red sections of the quadrisection flag instead of replacing it altogether. Alternatively, both sections with the ''tricorona'' were seperated from it, creating two smaller flags. The colonial flag is still in use today as the state flag, though most establishments choose to fly both. The ''tricorona'' also acts as the ''de facto'' coat of arms for the island despite it not having one.
