The official flag of the city is the flag of the City Militia
of 1706 as it is stated in the status of the piemontese capital
city:
Statuto della Citta` di Torino (Status of the city of Turin)
Titolo I- Principi generali (General principles)
Art. 4. Territorio, sede, stemma e gonfalone (Territory, seat,
coat of arms and gonfanon)
(...)
3. Il Comune ha uno stemma e un gonfalone, che sono quelli
storicamente in uso. (The commun has a coat of arm and a gonfanon
which are the historical ones in use)
4. Nelle occasioni ufficiali, a Palazzo Civico vengono espoti i
vessilli della Citta` di Torino, della REgione Piemonte, della
Repubblica Italiana e dell'Unione Europea. (For official events,
the Palazzo Civico shall show the flags of the City of Turin, of
the region Piedmont, of the Italian Republic and of the European
Union.)
5. Il vessillo del Comune di Torino e`la bandiera storica
dell'assedio del 1706. (The flag of the commune of Turin is the
historical flag of the siege of 1706).
The said flag is a blue square flag with a white cross. In each
canton there is a bull in yellow (not the same shape than the
bull on the coa). In the first canton there is also a white
ribbon with the words in black "AUXILIUM MEUM A
DOMINO". The flag is yellow fimbriated.
Here is a small picture of
that flag (reduced size and colours) .It is a picture dating from
1772, coming from analbum of flags present in the Armeria Reale
in Turin. .

According to <www.flagsonline.it>,
Turin flag is white and charged with the coat of arms and
inscription.
Dov Gutterman, 18 November 2004
As it seems from <www.comune.torino.it>,
city of Torino's flag is blue over yellow (1:4 ?) with the Coat
of Arms on the hoist side of the blue.
Dov Gutterman, 17 January 1999
Alas, this is not the official flag of the city, but rather a
logo and colours based on the coat of arms

Gonfalone del Corpo dei Vigili Urbani fino al 1928 - Gonfalon
of the City Guards' Corps up to 1928
Santiago Dotor, 7 September 1999
Answering Jack Kowalski question: "Aren't the
Vigili Urbani the Fire Brigades?" - AFAIK, only the
"vigili del fuoco" are the firemen. But maybe
"vigili urbani" is/was also used
Santiago Dotor, 7 September 1999
Vigili Urbani is targeted to keeping order and make the law
respected in the urban areas. Might they be similar to the Sherif
Dept. crew in USA. Vigili del Fuoco is the Fire Brigade, they
have a land area assigned to service (I think district based),
even if in case of emergency more groups can rally to help.
Strictly speaking, Vigili Urbani and Vigili del Fuoco have no
connections each other, but of course they can be used for
similar tasks in case of necessity. The name Vigili is the only
common thing. The word means - more or less - "those who pay
attention to". Vigili Urbani are those who give you a fine
if you park in the bad place in Italy, so be careful not to meet
them under this circumstance...!

"Bandiera del Corpo della Polizia Municipale oggi"
(The current flag of the Municipal Police force) from the same
site -<www.comune.to.it>.
A much bigger image at this site.
Dov Gutterman, 11 September 1999
That flag is an historical one and is today the flag of the
city of Torino (Turin), about which I spoke some times ago. See
my above mail. The title means "flag of the group of the
municipal police today". So the flag of the police of the
city seems to be the same as the official flag of the city. Why
not?
