Only one Club in Italy, AFAIK, the "Yacht Club
Italiano", Genoa, is granted the use of a special national
ensign. The Club, established in 1879, as "Regio Yacht Club
Italiano", was presided in 1935 by His Royal Highness Amedeo
di Savoia, and in 1942 "e conferito l´onore ed il diritto
di battere la Bandiera della Marina Militare. Diritto revocato
dal Capo di Stato Maggiore del Ministero Difesa-Marina nel
1967." Which means they were granted the right and the honor
of flying the Italian Naval Military flag,
but I have a doubt about the Italian word "revocato".
If it means revoked, then the privilege is over since 1967, but
later editions of "Lloyd´s Register of Shipping" still
published the military flag as the Club´s ensign. If the
privilege was revoked, they can still use the Civil Ensign, that
is, with the lion of Venice holding a book, not a sword, and
without the naval crown.

Well, the Louis Vuitton Cup is over. This competition is done
to decide who will challenge the world most important sailing
trophy: the America´s Cup, and, for the first time since 1851,
the America´s cup race will have no boat from the U.S.A.
competing on it. That´s because New Zealand´s boat won the
trophy in 1995 and, now, the winners of the Louis Vuitton Cup,
and , therefore, the challengers againts N.Z. will be Italians.
Every boat must be presented by a yacht club, and New Zealand´s
defending Club is the "Royal New Zealand Yacht
Squadron", Auckland, New Zealand. The challengers, the Louis
Vuitton Cup winners are from the "Yacht Club Punta
Ala", Punta Ala, Grosseto, Italy. The Club was established
in 1976, and has no special Ensign privileges, therefore will be
using the Italian civil ensign. Their burgee is blue+, with a
yellow border 1/15 the height wide, and a yellow bird .

I am the House Chair at the South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club.
Our ceiling of our Yacht Club displays all of the burgees of our
guests and sailing trips since 1932. We were founded in 1932 by
Humourist Will Rogers and Wiley Post in Santa Monica, California
USA.
We are trying to identify a Yacht Club Burgee from Italy. It
appears to have the inscription of Societa Canottier Ansonia
Grado Italy with the logo in the center display of ASC and
green stripes on a white background. The ASC are in a design so
It may be SAC or CAS - we are not sure.

It is the burgee of the "Societá Canottieri
Ausonia" , located in Grado (Gorizia), Italy. They also have
a sailing team. Burgee can be seen at <www.grado-online.net>.

The flagoid in the logo is a long white triangular flag with a
very wide green cross throughout (width ~1/3 of the flag's
height) but not touching the edge at the fly); on its center a
white round disc (diameter ~1/2 of the flag's height) with an
orange "SCA" on it: large "S" with small
"CA" on its middle horizontal stroke.

The yacht club "Societa Triestina della Vela",
Trieste, Italy, was established in 1923 as "Filonautica
Triestina" and keeps the same flag, a blue - burgee with a
white cross of St. George and a white star on the canton,
designed then by Mario Lucas. Only the name was changed, in 1931.
