Flag of Ladins
flag of the Landin people
The flag of Ladins is horizontal tricolour of blue, white, and green. The Ladin people are an ethnic group in northern Italy. In 2024, the Regional Council of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol recognized the flag, allowing it to be officially displayed in municipalities next to the Italian tricolour.
Overview
The flag symbolizes the landscape: blue for the sky, white for the mountains and green for the meadows. The flag was introduced in 1920 during the Ladin Congress. It is unclear whether the flag was allowed during the time of Italian fascism. There are some which have also symbols or even coats of arms of Ladin families or municipalities, but these are only created by irrelevant people or organizations, no official institutions. Examples for symbols based on the flag are the coat of arms of Canazei or the logo of the Ladin Autonomist Union. The vertical version is less popular, but widespread especially outside of South Tyrol.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Flag of Ladins” as flag of the Landin people. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as flag of the Landin people. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111913811. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024 and 1920.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
