The Mario Fabretto Historic Flag Range

"Mario Fabretto is arguably the world’s premier master of flag computer graphics."

MrFlag.com has always been proud to offer an unrivalled range of traditionally-made historic flags. Now, with the advent of more reasonably priced digital printing processes, great looking modern-made historic flags are now available at much lower prices. But printing is only half the story, as the quality of any modern printed flag relies very heavily on the skill of the graphic artist. We are therefore extremely excited to unveil the Mario Fabretto Historic Flag Range.

Mario Fabretto started drawing flags images in 1991 using the very first vector drawing software available for the Apple Macintosh. After various trials he finally decided to use Adobe Illustrator as his tool of choice, the software he still uses today.

In 1993, after a visit from the late William Crampton and Jos Poels, Signor Fabretto started working with the UK's Flag Institute providing them with hundreds of expertly drawn images of historical and sub-national flags, and international organisations etc. With the help of CISV president Aldo Ziggioto, Senor Fabretto was able to build up an excellent historical archive, and learned the necessity of being extremely critical about available sources. At the Warsaw and Cape Town FIAV congresses Senor Fabretto had the pleasure to meet and start collaborating with many vexillologists such as Whitney Smith, Alfred Znamierowski, Peter Orenski, and Roman Klimes, amongst others

At The Warsaw Congress, Senor Fabretto was one of the very first to suggest the importance of computers for vexillological purposes, and presented an issue of Vexilla Italica in pdf format. More recently Senor Fabretto created the images for a flag card game named VEX and is currently developing his own flag-related web site (http://www.radioprotezione.it/vexi_work/).
