Piedmont
regionsblueredheraldic
The flag of Piedmont features a blue field with a red label (lambel) of three points, a heraldic charge associated with the House of Savoy's cadet branches. This simple yet powerful design connects directly to the Savoy dynasty, which ruled Piedmont for centuries and eventually led the unification of Italy. The blue field references the Savoy blue, which became the azzurro of the Italian national team. Piedmont — meaning 'at the foot of the mountains' — played a central role as the political engine of the Risorgimento.
Piedmont's Savoy blue flag is the origin of the Italian national color — the azzurro worn by Italian sports teams (the 'Azzurri') comes from the blue of the House of Savoy, Piedmont's ruling dynasty.
Adopted: 1995
