Liguria regional flag is a vertical tricolor green-red-blue
with the arms (a vessel) in the center. Sometimes the arms stay
on the red stripe only and below them appear the words Regione
Liguria. Lega Nord propose the flag for Liguria to be white,
with the red cross (the old Genova flag), with St. George killing
the dragon in the canton.
Mario Fabretto, 20 September 1996
The gonfalon and the emblem were adopted on the 15th January
1985. The emblem depicts a silver vessel with a white charged
with a red cross and four mullets silver in each canton. The
gonfalon is vertically green-red-blue with the emblem in the
middle. The flag adopted on the 27th June 1997 is vertically
green-red-blue with the emblem in the middle of the red stripe.

About Liguria, it was reported that the blue was changed to
white. Any confirmation?
Jaume Olle 25 September 1998
No. The law concerning the flag say that the flag is
green-red-blue. Nothing other was issued. You can look in the
official website of Liguria which has a database of its laws at
<www.regione.liguria.it>.
Pascal Vagnat, 26 September 1998
According to <www.regione.liguria.it>,
the region may adopt a new flag, red cross on white, in the
future.
Pascal Vagnat, 2 May 2003
The flag of the Regione Liguria can be seen on ItalianWikipedia.
It is slightly different from the above; the arms fit exactly
into the middle stripe.
