The Duchy of Guastalla was created by Napoleon 30 March 1806
and transferred to his sister Paulina Bonaparte and her husband,
Prince Borghese. Paulina returned the duchy to Napoleon on 24 May
1806 and it was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy. Only the French
flag is known to be used.

The Duchy of Guastalla was not created in 1806 as stated
above. From 1575 to 1746, Guastalla was a sovereign duchy ruled
by the Gonzaga family. In 1746 it passed to the Dukes of Parma,
who were also styled Dukes of Guastalla. The 'creation' of the
duchy for Pauline Bonaparte was a temporary separation of the
titles. Guastalla reverted to Parma in 1814 but in 1847 the Duke
of Modena became Duke of Guastalla.
