History
The flag of Tuscany was officially adopted on 3 February 1995. It shows a silver Pegasus rampant on a white field between two red horizontal bands. The Pegasus derives from a 1537 coin by Benvenuto Cellini honoring Cardinal Pietro Bembo and became a symbol of Tuscan cultural and creative heritage. It was later used by the Tuscan Committee of National Liberation during World War II, appeared publicly as a gonfalon on 20 May 1975 with the inscription "Regione Toscana," and was subsequently recognized as the official regional banner.
