Abruzzo
regionscoat of armswhitered
The flag of Abruzzo features the regional coat of arms on a white background. The emblem displays a diagonal red band (bend) across a white shield, symbolizing strength and valor. Adopted as part of the region's modern identity, the design references Abruzzo's medieval heritage and its position as a rugged mountainous territory along the central Apennines. The simplicity of the flag reflects the region's straightforward, pastoral character.
Abruzzo contains three national parks and one regional park, earning it the nickname 'The Green Region of Europe' — over a third of its territory is set aside as protected nature reserves.
Adopted: 1999
