Florence Italy
2016

The Flag of Florence, also known as the Giglio of Florence, was the flag of the Republic of Florence between 1250 and 1532. The flag persisted as a symbol of the city following the dissolution of the Republic and enjoys continued usage throughout Florence today.


We came across a small parade with the members dressed in bright and colorful historical costumes. Not sure what was being celebrated as we were in Florence on April 15, 2016 ~ Liberation Day is celebrated on April 25th. It was indeed an unexpected surprise as we walked the beautiful streets of Florence.
