Flag removed from Infobox
edit
I removed the Italian Republic flag (of 1946) icon from the Infobox, in accordance with several sections of WP:ICON; specifically (quoting),
- Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many....
- Flags make simple, blunt statements about nationality, while words can express the facts with more complexity. [Caltagirone was for many centuries part of the Angevin Kingdom of Naples, the Aragonese Kingdom of Sicily, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and The Kingdom of Sardinia (Piedmont)]....
- Do not rewrite history. Flags should not be used to misrepresent the nationality of a historical figure [including some bishops], event, object, etc. Political boundaries change, often over the span of a biographical article subject's lifetime. Where ambiguity or confusion could result, it is better not to use a flag at all, and where one is genuinely needed, use the historically accurate flag.
