Liguria Republic existed from 14 June 1797 to May 1800, From
24 June 1800 to June 1805 and from 28 April 1814 to December
1814. It used the same flag as Genoa Republic (white with red
saint George cross) as it is quoted in the constitution of 26
June 1802 and in the laws of 28 July 1814, but it is not quoted
in the Constitution of 2 December 1798 (but exist a quotation to
"the old banner").
Jaume Ollé, 13 October 1998
Roberto Breschi, in his presantation: "Flags in
Italy under Napoleon's pressure" at ICV 20 in Stockholm,
reported about the Republic of Liguria: It replaced the Republic
of Genoa in 1797 but kept its flag of red St. George cross on
white.

I know about two flags:
1) 
by Jaume Ollé, 13 October 1998
White flag with arms (white border decorate oval with red cross, supported by two griffin) reported by Zigiotto, in use c. 1797.
2) 
by Jaume Ollé, 13 October 1998
Green flag with red triangle at hoist pointed to the fly
(witout touch the top and botton flag) reported by Louis Loynes
and dated 1797-1805.

In the book "Chronicle of the french revolution" (p.
569) can be seen an image with the caption "proclamation of
the ligurian republic in genoa on june 14th" (a period
illustration). Behind the people dancing can be seen, tied to a
tree, 2 crossed flags: on the left a plain red flag although by
blowing it up I saw some writing that looks like: "Libertat,
Equagliunqa, fratellanqa", appear to be "Liberty,
Equality, Fraternity" in the local dialect. Below soemthing
winding with "1797" (probably the date). The one
on the right is white with, occupying most of the field, 2 red
hippogryphs rampant facing one another with an elongated red
cross patty between them. Basicaly, the Coat of Arms with the
crown and shield removed and the cross enlarged to fit between
the 2 supporters. If it realy existed (and wasn't simply an
invention of the illustrator) This would have allowed the genoese
to keep their traditional symbols whitout looking too royalist.
Its obviously related to the first reported flag of Jaume
Ollé.
