The colors of the flag are from of 1st and 4th quarter that says: "The blue
color represents the calm sky of Brazil, under which we shelter as a small piece
of native ground". The red color of the roses is our affirmation of faith and
love of the Christian doctrine… or as a symbol of freedom as used in the Federal
Republic flag of Piratini. The color silver (white) represents the noble, lofty
and peaceful character of our people, through its example of serenity at all
times. The triangles that bear the colors, represent three bands of the the
flag of the RS, as proposed by a famous councilman, and
began as the official flag of our beloved land, Farroupilha State, dating from
the great revolution: Freedom, Equality and Humanity. Finally the presence of
the arms of the city in the white field, concludes our banner. Adoption by Law
nº 920 of 19/12/1968.
