Italian Flag with Trinacria Symbol | Cultural Heritage & Regional Identity #2306956 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays the national flag of Italy-green, white, and red vertical stripes-with the Trinacria (Triquetra) symbol superimposed on the central white band. The Trinacria features a Gorgoneion (Medusa’s head) surrounded by three bent legs radiating outward, rooted in ancient Greek and Sicilian mythology, representing the island’s triangular shape and cyclical nature of life. Historically adopted by Sicily as its regional symbol, it reflects cultural pride and historical continuity from the time of the Kingdom of Sicily.
