iRS (indipendèntzia Repùbrica de Sardigna = Independence Republic of
Sardinia)
iRS is a Sardinian separatist and socialdemocratic party,
founded in 2002, partly as a split from SNI. It currently holds no seat in the
regional parliament. iRS became (in)famous in 2005, when it invaded Silvio
Berlusconi's Sardinian estate with a large number of party flags [1,2,3].
The party symbol shows a very stylized black eradicated tree accompanied by
a black panel at the left and a red one at the the right; plus party name and
abbreviation. The flag is somewhat a banner-of-arms, i.e. a vertical triband of
black-white-red (4:15:4) with the black tree in the centre [2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. The
eradicated tree (in different variations) in recent times has become a prominent
symbol of Sardinian separatists; it is a reference to the arms of the Giudicato
di Arborea, independent in medieval times.

On Page 32 of today's edition (21 March) of The Times
newspaper there is a photograph of a large number of Sardinian
separatists who had invaded the grounds of Italian President
Sergio Berlusconi's villa on the island. They are shown carrying
several different flags, some of which I recognize and some I
don't. Apparently they were rootling about the villa grounds for
some time before the security people noticed them.

The Sardinian iRS (indipendèntzia Repùbrica de Sardigna =
Independence Republic of Sardinia) seems to be a rather new
independentist party (founded end of 2003), that widely uses their
flags, namely a variant of the Sardinian flag (with inscription
"INDIPENDENTZIA").
