Lucca Republic

Roberto Breschi, in his presantation: "Flags in Italy under Napoleon's pressure" at ICV 20 in Stockholm, reported about the Lucca Republic: The Republic used the flag reported by Jaume as 1801-1805 only from 1803. The 1805-1809 flag was the flag of the Principality of Lucca and Piombino 1805-1809. He didn't mention 1799-1801 flag at all.

On 8 August 1805 Lucca adopted another flag, that was in use until 1809, when Lucca was merged on Tuscany. I used the shade of blue similar to the one of the Etruria Kingdom.
