in french yachting review "Bateaux" issue nov 1999,
an italian reader, N Accardi of Roma, states that the courtesy
flag which a foreign yacht should fly in italian waters is the
undefaced tricolour and not as I would have presumed the civil
ensign with CoA without crown.

In Portofino, Genoa, Italy, we have founded the new Marina and
exposed the new flag. See <www.marinadiportofino.com>.
The flag is red
charged with a cross gold, in one quarter there is the San
Giorgio that is the symbol of Portofino and he's a man on the
horse that kill the dragon.
Paolo Fenati (President, Marina Di Portofino), 16 August
and 24 October 2006
Just found a page on
YC Adriaco (Trieste, founded 1903), showing the various flags:
- Guidone sociale (Club burgee): green, a red cross throughout.
- Bandiera sociale (Club flag): green, a red cross shifted to the
hoist ("scandinavian").
- Commodoro (Commodore): swallowtailed club flag (seemingly
placing the cross in centre), a red five-pointed star in each
hoist quadrant.
- Presidente (President): as the commodore, but disks instead of
stars.
- Vice Presidente (Vice president): as the president, less one
disk (the one left is the upper one).
- Segretario (Secretary): as the vice-president, but without any
disk.
- Guidone di lunga crociera (Burgee for long cruise): as the
burgee, only considerably longer: est. height one unit, length
five units.

I found the site : http://www.netgroup.it/crvitalia/BandSoc.htm
There is a chart with the flags of the yacht club "Circolo
del Remo e della Vela Italia", Napoli, Italy, established
November 20th, 1889 as "Canottieri Italia". The Clubīs
flag is a rectangular 2:3 red flag with a blue cross of St.
George and they have Rank flags. Itīs a very curious case, as
they have the Clubīs flag to represent the society as a whole,
but include, among the Rankīs flags, a memberīs flag . Usually
the clubīs flag is the one also used by members, but in this
case, members use a triangular shape, burgee.

Another important yacht club is the "Circolo Nautico Ugo
Costaguta", Voltri (Genova), Italy. Established in December
1898, the Clubīs flag is a white burgee with a red cross of St.
George, traditional symbol of Genoa (another Club from Genoa, the
Yacht Club Italiano, uses the same, but with colors reversed),
and a blue star in a white circle at the armsīintersection.
