Description

Flag offered by Italy to the Jewish Cultural Congress on 4 November 1924. Source: Vexillinfo or Flaggenmitteilungen, I believe that originary source is Lucien Philippe.

Was this in use? Is it used today in Italy? Seven stars are already mentioned here as Theodor Herzl's Proposal 1896. The word in the middle is Zion spelled out fully.
Zeljko Heimer, 13 January 1998

I looked around for such an event and I couldn't find any trace that such Congress was held. However, following the hints of the date and area , I found out that on that date there was a Jewish Youth Congress that was held in  Livorno.  Early that year, also the Italian Zionist Federation was founded, also in Livorno. Therefore, the flag could be attributed to one of those events.
