A blue flag with a golden eagle is the old flag of
Patriarchate of Aquileia (circa 1000-1420) and a flag for Friuli.
It is also possible to see a blue flag with the golden eagle and,
near the hoist, vertically placed, the word Friul in
yellow
Mario Fabretto, 20 September 1996
The gonfalon and the coat of arms were adopted on the 8th
December 1967. The coat of arms is azure an eagle taking flight
or on a mural crown argent. The gonfalon is blue with the coat of
arms in the middle and the words Regione autonoma
Friuli-Venezia Giulia in gold. The flag is blue with
the coat of arms in the middle and was adopted on the 27th
November 2001. The region issued a decree concerning the use of
the coat of arms and the gonfalon on the 5th March 1970. The
region has also a car flag (guidoncini) for the authorities of
the region. This last is blue with the coat of arms.

I've been to Friuli this September. The flag of the region
(eagle on mural crown), with added inscription "FRIUL"
probably does not exist. The official flag is really an official
flag, and it is not used by the citizens (-S-/---). What Mario
Fabretto describes, is a flag with a different eagle, which we
have at Padanian flag of Friuli.
This flag is actually the widely used as unofficial civil flag
(C--/---) of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia. The variant with the
inscription (see Flag in Use) can be seen as
well, but less frequently.
M. Schmöger, 22 November 2002
The versions which are in this page are the less used in
Friuli. The flag in common use is that Padanian flag of Friuli. This is
claimed by Padanian movement, but it's used by everyone who
supports friulian autonomists. On the other hand, I've never seen
the version with the Friul word on the left (see: Flag
in Use (?)), neither those with the yellow-blue bands (see: Friuli Nationalist Flags), although these are for
sure Friuli's colours. I want also to report that Friulian flag
with the eagle flies every year on 3rd April for the so-called
'Patrie dal Friûl', a festival that remembers the creation of
the first Friulian state (the Patriarchate of Aquileia).

The nationalist movement in Friuli was hoisted a flag blue,
yellow blue horizontal. This information have for source Vexilla
Catalana, December 1985, numer 2.
Jaume Ollé, 8 September 1996
There isn't any true nationalist movement in Friuli. You have
better speak of autonomous movements which would separate Friuli
from Trieste. The Friuli-Venezia Giulia region was created after
the WWII incorporating the province of Udine (friulan) and the
provinces of Gorizia and Triest, which, before, together with
Zara, Pola and later Lubiana (I use the Italian names for Zadar,
Pula and Ljubljana) constituted the Venezia Giulia region. So the
today composed name. Because Friulans identify themselves as a Ladin nation, they would like to have more autonomy from the
regional government which has its seat in Trieste. Actually very
few people think to separate Udine (and Pordenone, which province
was created in the sixties) from the rest of the region, and
Friulan nationalism is mostly a cultural movement than a
political one. The blue-yellow-blue flag is almost completely
unknown to population. The colors are indeed Friulan,
originating in the ancient standard of the Patriarchate of
Aquileia, and they appear on the provincial flags of Udine and
Gorizia, on the regional flag and on many civic flags. Sometimes
a yellow five pointed star was added in the canton on the blue
stripe, but I never saw such flags flown by people. On the
contrary the light blue flag with the golden Patriarchate eagle
is widely exposed everywhere in Friuli, often with a
"Friul" vertically placed toward the hoist (see Flag in Use).

The Friolano language is represented by a horizontal yellow-blue bicolor at www.sci.uniud.it/~righini
and by horizontal yellow-blue bicolor with a eagle at www.infotech.it/faedis.

Vexilla Catalana issue 2 reported Flag of Friuli nationalist
B-Y-B horizontal. Seems that Y-B are the colors of Friule
Jaume Ollé , 6 September 1999
This first flag is listed under number 45 at the chart
"Flags of Aspirant Peoples" [eba94] as Friuli (Friuls,
Furlanians) - North-East Italy flag.
Ivan Sache, 9 September 1999
This flag has an incorrect description. This flag was proposed
in 1966 by Giorgio Jus (that, by the way, was one of
leader of a regional party called "Movimento Friuli")
as an easier alternative to the golden Eagle
("Acuile") for a new popular flag of Friuli. Nowadays
is used only as a "ferial" flag, because for the
solemnity the Eagle is preferred. The proportions are 2x3.
Matteo Colaone, 26 September 2000
Friulan call themselves "Furlans", in Italian
"Friulani". Their language is the "Furlan",
in Italian "Friulano".

As far as I can understand there is movement for formation a
new autonomous province of Carnia/Cjargne in todays Province of Udine in the Region of
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. It should comprise the Communes of
Tolmezzo, Sauris, Forni di Sopra, Arta Terme, Forni Avoltri and
Ravascletto.
