Though this flag has been in use barely 20 years, it can be found flying from many buildings. This version was seen from the Grand Canal on the
Palazzo Giustinian. Its shape is that of a gonfalon, a pennant, with streamers.
Flagspot informs us:
The city adopted its new symbols with presidential decree in 1996 and 1997. The coat of arms is the same than the former one without any connotation of fascism or bundle of lictors. The gonfalon is red borderd with gold ornament and four armillary azure and gold spheres. The coat of arms appear in the middle with the words "CITTÀ' DI VENEZIA" (city of Venice).
This flag can be seen in Google Street View.
