Flag of Elba
The flag was used during the period of stay of Napoleon Bonaparte as sovereign of the island of Elba, from 4 May 1814 to 26 February 1815. The flag, donated by Napoleon on his arrival on the island, was hoisted on the highest point of Portoferraio on the day of the landing of the emperor on the island. The original flag is kept in the Napoleon residence, ''Palazzina dei Mulini'' in Portoferraio. The meaning of the insignia chosen by the Emperor has long been, and continues to be, a matter of debate among historians.
==The red band==
There are different theories about the origin of the red stripe on a white background. One of those, is that the red and white colors were chosen from the Polish flag in honor of the Major Jan Paweł Jerzmanowski who followed Napoleon in his exile on Elba. Many authors agree however that Napoleon was inspired by a picture book on flags. The commander of the British frigate HMS ''Undaunted'', Thomas Ussher, which led Napoleon to Elba from Marseille, tells that ''Napoleon had with him a book in which were represented all the flags of Tuscany, ancient and modern, and he asked me my opinion on the one he had chosen''. The British Commissioner designated to accompany Napoleon on Elba, Neil Campbell, confirms this version writing in his diary: ''it was as exactly as possible an ancient flag of Tuscany''.
