Flag of Venice, a part of Italy














Lions make many appearances on flags. But perhaps the most interesting flag, with a lion on it, is the flag of Veneto (a federal district in Italy), better known as Venice. It is the best example of a lion flag, at least in the West. In the East the flag of Sri Lanka has a lion holding a sword. These two flags bring together the idea, 'the pen is mightier than the sword.'
