Blazon: Gules on a fess Argent three fleurs-de-lis of the first.

This is one of those "possible" cases which have to be confirmed -- flag and arms designs which are so simple that coincidence may be simply that. A relationship between Santa Venera and Grand Master Wignacourtdoes exist, but this may not necessarily imply the arms are related.

Is this flag actually in use? The use of the coat of arms is confirmed (see the page background of http://reocities.com/Baja/7234, among many other examples), but no evidence of a banner of arms usage after some cursory search. At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Venera it is said that "the colours of the town are yellow and blue."
