Lloyd's Book of House Flags and Funnels (1912) shows the house
flag of "Società Anonima Austriaca di NaV. a Vap.
"Dalmatia"" (#266, p. 49), a company based in
Trieste (then in Austria-Hungary), as blue with a white
"D" in the middle.
"Società Anonima di Navigazione a Vapore Dalmatia" was
founded in 1908, with its seat in Trieste and port of call in
Zara (today Zadar), and Hungarian, Italian and German
as the languages of use. The emblem of the company, as
shown on a webpage
by Aldo Cherini, dedicated to the coastal navigation in Venezia
Giulia and Dalmatia, 1819-1875, shows a much more ornamented
"D" than on the Lloyd's image.

D'Amico Società di Navigazione S.p.A. formed 1952 by 2 of the
brothers from Fratelli d'Amico. This flag is
shown as a logo on the company website and I have recorded it
from a paper ad in 1977. It, or a simpler variation, is also
shown as the emblem on the funnels but according to Brown (1958,
1982 and 1995) the flag is yellow with a narrow blue bend.

Ditta Luigi Pittaluga Vapori of Genoa. Stewart's Flags &
Funnels of 1963 shows a red bend sinister charged with three
white stars on a blue flag.
David Prothero, 27 November 2006
At the 1940
Spanish source, there is house
flag for ‘Luigi Pittaluga’ (Genoa, Italy) as the
fourth one of the fourth complete row: blue field (lighter than
some others on the same page) with a red descending diagonal
bearing three white five-pointed stars placed in the direction of
the diagonal. (The diagonal reaches from corner to
corner.) Above, we mention a picture showing a similar
flag with an ascending diagonal (similar funnel
however).
We are also reminded of the house flag of Photogen Transport Co. Ltd (Fiume,
now Rijeka), an Austro-Hungarian company which existed 1896-1909,
the flag of which may have influenced that of Pittaluga which in
its turn exists, but does not yet fly a house flag, in 1912.
Lastly, our Unidentified Flags or Ensigns (2006) under “Three black stars” recounting
the possible Photogen/Pittaluga connection.
We know that the firm existed 1912-1963. In 1912 the company
already operated the ill-fated ‘Tripolitania' but an earlier
ship was the former British India Steam vessel ‘Jumna’
sold to them in 1907 to be scrapped as repoerted at <www.agenziabozzo.it>
and <www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk>.
Some tankers were acquired during the nineteen twenties (heritage
of Photogen business?) as reported at <www.aukevisser.nl>.
At the other end of the time scale, the Red Duster site (Prince
Line chapter) mentions the ‘Aquitania’ operated
1953-1965 and the ‘Transilvania’ sold in 1965 as well.
The page at </www.fondazioneansaldo.it>,
concerning the company archives (in Italian) mentions the growth
of Pittaluga in the nineteen thirties, the severe damages caused
by WWII, the reduction of activities and the winding up in the
second half of the nineteen sixties:

A triangular flag with the tip cutted out (is there a specific
name for this shape?). White with a dark red cross and the black
initials "RR" in the first quarter.
Jorge Candeias, 31 March 1999
The "RR" on the flag presumably comes from the
Rimorchiatori Riuniti S.p.A. connection of which it is a
subsidiary, operating the offshore vessels and deep sea tugs of
the group, the full name being Finarge-Armamento Genovese S.r.l.
Genovese S.p.A. I have doubts about whether the pennant has a
square point. The company website image does look like it but as
it is small and also depicts a waving flying flag, a false
impression may have resulted.
