Lloyds depicts the first quarter as a landscape with black grass and a small leafless black tree.
The lion sits full-length on the ground, looking to Rosanoski more like a puppy, with a black sprig towards the hoist.
NGI was formed in 1881 by amalgamating Palermo’s Ignazio & Vincenzo Florio with Genoa’s Società per la Navigazione a Vapore Raffaele Rubattino, as Società Riunite Florio Rubattino. It acquired Raggio & Co. and Rocco Piaggio & Figli in 1885, then La Veloce in 1901, liquidating the latter in 1924. Most ships passed to the newly formed Società Nationale [Nazionale] del Servizi Marittimi in 1910. NGI gained control of Lloyd Italiano in 1910 and absorbed it in 1918.
Control of Italia Società di Navigazione à Vapore was acquired from Hamburg Amerika Linie in 1905, 1906 or 1907 according to different references. It merged into Transoceanica in 1917. Transoceanica and Societa Commerciale Italiana di Navigazione, with their fleets, were absorbed by NGI in 1921.
NGI merged into Italia Flotte Riunite in January 1932. Government reorganisation in 1936 led to Società per Azioni di Navigazione Italia from 1 January 1937.
