Flag of Pisa Town,
Source, by: Wikipedia (FR)
Pisa was originally a Greek settlement and was one of the 12 federal cities of Etruria. The city was a Roman colony since 180 A.D. At the time of its flowering (from the 11th to the 13th century), the Republic of Pisa was one of the most important port cities of the region (Amalfi, Genoa, Pisa and Venice). In 1399 Pisa came to the Duchy of Milan (under the Visconti), and in 1406 it came by purchase to the Duchy of Florence.

Flag of Amalfi Town,

Amalfi was from the 9th century independent, quasi a republic. At the time of its flowering (from the 10th to the 11th century), the Republic of Amalfi was one of the most important port cities in the region (Amalfi, Pisa, Genoa and Venice), who came to power and bloom by trade. In 1073 Amalfi was conquered by the Normans and lost its importance. In the years 1135 and 1137 the city was attacked from Pisa, became relatively quickly meaningless, and ultimately even dependent from Pisa. In 1582 Amalfi came to the Kingdom of Naples.

It included Latium and Umbria. The French troops withdrewed in 1799, then marched into Rome troops of the Kingdom of Naples. That was the end of the Roman Republic. In 1808 this territory was directly annexed from France. After Napoleon's defeat the Papal States became restored in 1815.

Flag of the Parthenopean Republic,
Source, by: Flags of the World
The Parthenopean Republic was created as a French satellite state of Napoleon's grace in January 1799, when French revolutionary troops occupied the Kingdom of Naples and the monarchy collapsed. Because the enemies of Napoléon invaded the north of Italy, the French troops were forced to leave the Republic Parthenopean very quickly. Already in June 1799 a popular uprising under the leadership of Cardinal Fabrizio Ruffo finished these so-called Republic, and the king out of the House of Bourbon became reinstated. The state was named after Parthenope, one of the sirens in the Greek mythology. When she died, she was washed ashore on a small island vis-a-vis of what is now Naples. Parthenope was therefore worshiped in Naples as the city goddess.

The Kingdom of Italy is not to deal with the today's Italy, which was founded not until 1861. That Kingdom of Italy was established as a French satellite state of Napoleon's grace in 1805, by transformation of the Italian Republic in precisely this kingdom, of course, with Napoleon himself as king.

The Island of Elba (Italian: Ìsola d'Elba) is an Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea between Corsica and Italy. It covers an area of 86 sq.mi., and in 1997 the population was 27.300 inhabitants. The island is mountainous (Capanne Mountain 1019 meters) and has a torn coast. Economy: iron ore, olives, vineyards and orchards, tourism. Capital is Portoferraio. Elba was from 1814 to 1815 the residence of Napoléon I. The flag shows three golden bees in a red diagonal stripe. The honey bee was the personal emblem of Napoleon Bonaparte, so to speak the animal emblem of the person N. Bonaparte, the eagle was the official armor of the emperor in (West-)Roman, Franconian tradition. The award of golden bees for inclusion into coats of arms was a special form of honoring by Napoléon for meritorious persons, countries or cities, like the island of Elba.
