The Ticino flag (German: Flagge von Tessin; French: Drapeau du Tessin) consists of two horizontally equal red and blue stripes. The flag is an 1803 design, but the designer or intended symbolism is not recorded. However, it is thought that red and blue are derived from the dominant colors of the coats of arms of the eight regions that make up Ticino. Ticino is the most southern canton of Switzerland. Its capital is Bellinzona; its population is approximately 353,343 (2019); and its area is 2,812 km².
