Even though I’m Italian, I didn’t know the symbolism behind the Sicilian flag! Shame on me !

Thanks for enlightening me, Gabi!

I think you can't physically know everything about your country :-)

Check out the Isle of Man flag,they are somehow connected.

At first glance, the flag didn't translate as "unique" to me but after reading the historical context and looking at it again, I'd admit that it is unique but still a bit unsettling. There's something undeniably eerie about the triskelion's design, don't you think?

Maybe it's the conjoined legs, which seem to be moving in tandem, or the way the feet point outward, as if ready to take off at any moment. Still, after reading the flash facts about the flag, I can appreciate the Flag of Sicily for its bold, unconventional design as it is a testament to the island's rich history and cultural heritage.

Wow, I've never seen anything like that as a flag! When I looked around the head, I knew Medusa would be involved

After you explained it, I do see the symbolism and why they came up with the flag that they did...amazing!

Gabi, I have to admit you never disappoint 💯
