AGIP SOCIETÀ PER AZIONI.

The pre-war account describes blue funnels with a green-white-red band and the Agip name. Rosanoski notes that the photographs instead show a white base with a blue top, carrying the tricolour and lettering as in A374; the letter colours are not established there. He therefore considers A373 presumably incorrect. The account then describes the lower part as becoming yellow-green.

For the post-war period the source describes a yellow-green background with the tricolour, which Rosanoski questions because it would place a green band on green. The AGIP lettering changed form. The photographs behind A723 and A290 show the white band wider than the green and red, particularly in the earlier portrayal. A290 also confirms a narrow line separating yellow from white, although the black-and-white photograph cannot establish the line’s colour.

A724 is described as the flag used from 1926 to “1953/57”, with a blue Savoia field, a horizontal tricolour and the AGIP symbol in the centre. Rosanoski treats Savoia as presumably a shade of blue and leaves open whether two flags overlapped during the uncertain transition. The letters are black, unlike Brown 1951’s A374.

The next flag, A290, is described as yellow with the six-legged dog in the centre and a red border, used from “1953/57” to the early 1980s. The Yahoo portrayal has a narrow red edging. Rosanoski rejects its description as ENI’s first pennant: the dog was originally AGIP’s logo, also adopted by ENI, which he says did not become involved with shipping until the 2003 merger.
