Surprized to see the Amazon flag fluttering beside the EU and Italy flags in the photo. Many countries require the National Flag to be given special respect, and must be flown above other flags.
I'm surprised to see the Amazon flag in the first place. Gives a corporate-state vibe, rather than an "e-commerce warehouse" vibe.
- qsort 5y agoIt matches the official Italian protocol for flag display. Nothing wrong. When both the Italian and EU flags are displayed, the protocol requires them to be flown at the same height, "as equals". Many places also fly a third flag, representing city colors, regional flag, university emblem, etc. For example: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/Palazzo_Chigi_-_Roma_%282010%29.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/Palazzo_... (the yellow/red flag in the corner is the flag of the city of Rome)
