I received some days ago the flag of Giglio Island in the
Mediterranean Sea. In conmemoration of the 200 aniversary of the
last Berberic attack to Christian lands (precisely to Giglio
island on 18 November 1789) that ended in a hard defeat of the
North Africains, was create the flag of Giglio. Flag was first
hoisted 18-11-1999 on a tower in the wall of Giglio
Castello.

Giglio is a wonderful island in front of the coast of Tuscany.
It is part of the "arcipelago toscano", whose best
known island is Elba (at least after Napoleon ruled a state over
there). I was there in July 1999 and I had the chance to observe
two different Gonfalone both used by Giglio Castello. I
interviewed the guardian (usually the guy best informed in
practice matters...) and he explained me that one was the older
gonfalone that during a restoring period was substituted by a new
one, different, and then reintroduced again. It is a mess, also
because both are not officially recognised!

A flag (and not a gonfalon) was adopted and hoisted in
November 1999, four months after your trip. I dont know about the
old gonfalons, only about the current flag. Creation of the flag
was made by an "ad hoc" committee . According to a
letter this committee is "ha curato tutta una serie di
iniziative storiche,folcloristiche e culturali". Flag is
hoisted "il 18 novembre sulle sette torri della cinta
muraria di Giglio Castello ed esposte in altre ocasioni
solenni" (If I understad correctly the flag is hoisted in
special days or celebrations)
