Between 1818-1847, Maria Luisa adopted State (and Royal)
flag.(adopted: 7 november 1818). In 1824 the arms were changed.

On 7 November 1818 Lucca adopted new arms and added them to a
white flag, with national colors in canton. Arms were modified
1824. Flag was used until 1847.

It seems that the national ensign was used without shield as
merchant flag for limited time (c. 1818-19)

Another merchant flag is reported for a short period
(1819-1820). According to Mario Fabreto Italian flags
didn't exist with fimbriated cross but I recall the fact that the
cross in arms were fimbrated in gold (i.e. Tuscany) and that the
fimbriation can be the normal form to move the cross to the flag.
Also Austrian, french (Bourbonic), Catalan or Spanish influence
could exist.

In 1820 a new merchant flag was adopted. Seems that it exists
at least in two patterns.

Norrie/Hobbs shows a "Yellow with two thin Red
stripes" ensign, namely Lucca (plate XVI)
Ned Smith, 16 July 1999
I guess both the Sicilian and Lucca ensigns, in a pattern of
yellow field with two red stripes, have some relationship with
the 1785 Spanish ensign
Santiago Dotor, 20 July 1999
At J.W Norie - J.S. Hobbs: Flaggen aller seefahrenden
Nationen, 1971[ nor71] (original
print 1848):
195 Lucca - As upper flag, that is: Red stripes equally wide as
yellow stripes. - Very interesting is that Ned Smith is quoted as
reporting from Norie/Hobbs this same flag ("Lucca"),
from the same flagplate (XVI), but as having narrow red lines!
Does Ned have access to a completely different edition of N/H?
There is a flag closer to that in this edition, but that's 204 (Spanish Merchant).
