The flag was born from the initiative “A flag for the Mediterranean”, conceived by Simone Perotti and launched by “Progetto Mediterranea” at the end of the long sailing trip (20,000 miles) for the whole Mediterranean, Black Sea, Atlantic, from 2013 to 2019 in search and rediscovery of Mediterranean identity roots. The flag was designed by the students of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Catania: Salvatore Scollo, Hushmand Toluian and Gugliemo Persano and represents the true “Sixth Continent”, where 400 million people live and where the greatest cultural and social wealth is concentrated of the planet.

5% of the sale, net of VAT, will be donated to the activities of the Associazione Progetto Mediterranea.
