| Flags representing the Malatesta's of Rimini. the red, white and green flags are taken direct from contemporary sources whilst the others are based on coats of arms. There's one more flag to do and for the Malatesta's however it might be some while as I can't ascertain the colours, however next up is the Sforza's. Cheers Pete. |

These flags look fantastic, I look forward to the Sforza ones, do you have plans to do any more for the city states?
ReplyDeletehi Oli, I'll paint any flag that I like the look of. Unfortunately my Italian is pap so it's a real struggle raking through the sources. is there any particular stae that you require?
ReplyDeletecheers Pete
Hi Pete, I was thinking perhaps of Pisa, although I am not sure what the flags look like for this city.
ReplyDeleteColonna and Orsini would be great for my later Italian wars stuff. The flags you have done so far are great and will work really well with the new Perrys Italians.
Hi Oli, I haven't got any info on Pisa other than they carried an all red flag. the Orsini are on the to do list, so far I've got enough to complete 4 flags however I would like to complete a standard for Alviano to command my Venetians. The Colonna have been even more difficult to track down other than the usual white column on a red background. Even me recent trip to Rome didn't uncover anything for these but that might have had more to do with the wine being 4 euros per half litre. cheers Pete
ReplyDeleteAll I have ever been able to find for the Colonna is the same, the pillar on a red field.
ReplyDeleteThe Sforza, Orsini and Alviano flags all sound great, I am sure I will be placing an order!
