The art of flag throwing dates back to medieval guilds (principally in Italy). A guild's banner or flag was considered a symbol of purity, and as such it was not allowed to touch the ground. There are two major categories of flag throwing: classical and acrobatical. In classical flag throwing, the flag is turned left and right around the body in a standing posture. In acrobatical flag throwing, the thrower uses both hands to move the flag in a sitting, laying, or kneeling posture. ==External links== * (Federazione italiana Sbandieratori ) The Italian official flag throwing federation. * (Lega italiana Sbandieratori ) The Italian flag throwing league. * (Flag throwing ), on ''Flags Of The World'' website. * (SbandierAutori - An italian book on the flag throwers tradition ) * (Alfieri's "La Bandiera" ) - Information on Francesco Alfieri's treatise on flag waving, 'La Bandiera', published in 1638 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flag throwing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
