Italy Alleanza Nazionale Flag, 1995 - 2009.

Italy Alleanza Nazionale Flag.
In Italy, the Alleanza Nazionale (National Alliance) that ran from 1995 to 2009 was a conservative political party that was originally formed when the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement joined forces with elements of the defunct Christian Democracy party to form a more mainstream Italian right-wing political party.

They participated in three Italian coalition governments until they merged with the center-right People of Freedom Party in 2009.

The flag is a horizontal bi-color flag with light blue over white that belonged to the Alleanza Nazionale (National Alliance). Centered but offset towards the bottom is a white disc, bordered by black lines, in which there is a stylized flame that has three parts that boast the Italian national colors of green, white and red that emanate from a red and white trapezoidal base bearing the initials M.S.I.

Above the disc in two rows are the words in plain black capital letters:
ALLEANZA NAZIONALE, (National Alliance).
