The flag is ~3:5 with two white radial "shark fins" (is this understandable?)
stretching from bottom hoist to the middle upper fly with thick grey fimbriations, dividing three areas of the flag cloth, of which two are green and the bottom one is red. On the upper hoist, 12 grey five-pointed stars stacked 5+3+2+1+1, aligned to the hoist.
The text on this on line image says that the flag was designed by Miguel Ángel Esquef and that it is official. Still according to the text, the stars stand for the 12 boroughs of the city and their
arrangement means that unity yields strength; the curve lines stand for the railroad industry on which the city's wealth was based. Silver is said to symbolize the denizen's temperance, truthiness and integrity, green is for the city's wealth and red stands for the
strength needed to succeed in the way to progress (no word about white, though).

The municipality of Soledad (1,464 inhabitants in 2010; 619 sq. km) is located
in the San Cristóbal department, 140 km north of Santa Fe.
Soledad
originates in the erection in 1793 of Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad.
Originally planned in 1866, the establishment of a new settlement was postponed
because of the colonists' withdrawal; in 1888, the railway eventually brought
the Blesio family, coming from Busca, an Italian village located 15 km of Cuneo
(Piedmont). Idelfonso Parejo requested on 17 September 1891 the official
establishment of the colony, which was granted on 24 November 1891 by the
provincial government - this date is, therefore, considered as the date of
foundation of the town.

The flag of
Soledad is vertically divided celestial-blue-white-green by slanted lines. In
the middle is placed the town's landmark, the Pyramid.
The flag was
selected in a public contest announced on 26 July 2013 by the municipality. On
14 September 2013, the jury unanimously selected the winning design among 30
submissions. The flag was unveiled on 18 October 2013.
The flag was
designed by Jorge Antonio Bobadilla.
Celestial blue represents the quiet
environment of the town, the sea crossed by the first colonists; blue is the
colour of the flax flower, recalling the first crop established in Soledad.
White is a symbol of purity and transparency. The Pyramid is the iconic symbol
of the town, inalterable and valuable like gold.
Green represents the
mountains and the fertility of the soil, which supports all the local
aspirations.

The Pyramid is a tribute to Sergeant Pedro Bustamante
(1796-1883), known as Belgrano's Drummer. Born in Fort Nuestra Señora de la
Soledad, Bustamante fought in Buenos Aires during the British assaults
(1806-1807). During the May Revolution, he enrolled, as a drummer, in Belgrano's
army. He attended the first hoisting of the Argentine national flag in Rosario.
Bustamante was involved in the battles of Tucumán (24 February 1812) and Salta
(20 February 1813); back to Santa Fe, he fought in the Montoneras guerilla
commanded by Estanislao López (1786-1838).

The municipality of Villa Trinidad (2,945 inhabitants in 2001; 327 sq.
km) is located 250 km form the town of Santa Fé, in the Department of
San Cristóbal.
"Diario El Litoral" reports on 7 December 2008 the adoption of the
flag and arms of Villa Trinidad.
The symbols were presented during the celebration of the 99th
anniversary of the village, held in the local Historic Archives and
Museum, housed in the former railway station. The village was formally
founded on 2 December 1909 when the first train stopped at the station.
The jury selected the flag proposed by Andrea Vercelli (out of 14
submissions) and the coat of arms proposed by Rita Comba (out of 6
submissions).
The flag of Villa Trinidad has three stripes. The first stripe,
incurved to the bottom, is of celeste blue colour and represents the
sky. The central stripe is red, honouring the courage and strength
used to build the village and the open gate on the rest of the world
managed when developing the village. The lower stripe is green,
representing the natural environment, source of wealth and also
suggesting peace and tranquillity. The white stars, white for purity
and optimism, symbolizes the hamlets ("parajes") of La Gloria and
Campo Botto.
