City flag or/and ensign.
Jaume Ollé, 13 October 1998
The cover of [sie63] shows what
the book describes as approximately a quarter of a flagchart, one
of many to roll of the, mostly Dutch, presses for the use of
seafarers: "Tableau des Pavillons que la Plupart des Nations
arborent a` la Mer. Faitau de'po^t des cartes et plans de la
marine pour le service des vaisseaux du Roy par ordre de M. de
Machault, Garde de se'aux de France. Par le Sr. Bellin Inge'nieur
de la marine. 1756." [bel56]
On the 3rd row from the bottom there is "Pav. de
Livourne" - A white flag with a narrow malthese cross with
arced ends, with at each end a disc as wide as the arm fitting
the arc, but not quite touching it, all red.

Livorno Galley flag.
Jaume Ollé, 13 October 1998
At J.W Norie - J.S. Hobbs: Flaggen aller seefahrenden
Nationen, 1971[nor71] (original
print 1848):
231 Leghorn Galley - As above but without the yellow circle, and
using the same cross as on 230 (City Flag or/and
Ensign), leaving a bit of white between the two tips of each
arm.

At http://www.provincia.livorno.it/WebRis/Art1.htm
you can see the flag of Livorno (battle flag?) in 1848. The
inscription is "LIVORNO NELLA PRIMA GUERRA DI INDIPENDENZA -
Bandiera tricolore con stemma granducale lorenense". As I
understand it is the tricolour charged with the Lorain Archdukes
arms...
