The current flag of Corsica - the national emblem of the island of Beauty

The flag of Corsica was adopted in 1755 by General Pascal Paoli who, at that time, proclaimed the independence of the island as a separate nation from France. There are several legends behind the flag, but the most famous one is about a young Corsican girl named Diana who was kidnapped by Moors, slave traders. They tried to sell her to the King of Granada, Mohammed. Her fiance, Pablo, rescued Diana and they returned to Aleria, a town in Corsica.

After this event, King Mohammed was furious and sent his commander Mansour to get Diana back. A battle took place and the Moors won the fight against the invaders. Mansour's head was hoisted on a pike and displayed as a trophy. The national flag of Corsica celebrates this victory and recalls the insubordination of the people against the king and his fighters.
