Italian flag to fly on Auckland Harbour Bridge

The flag of Italy will fly from Auckland Harbour Bridge tomorrow, Friday 2 June, in recognition of the Italian National Day. The flag will be flown from 6:30am until 6:30pm.

Transit considers requests from nations wanting to commemorate their country’s national days. Recently the Samoan, Argentine and Norwegian flags have all flown on the bridge.
