''This page contains information about a typical Venetian flagstaff pedestal.'' {{for|a list of flagstaff pedestals|Flagstaff_Pedestals}}
A flagstaff pedestal, ''pili portabandiera'', is a piece of material culture used to display flags symbolizing ownership or allegiance to an organization.

==Structure==
A typical flagstaff pedestal has two main parts, a flagstaff and a pedestal. They are usually connected by brackets, but many flagstaffs are anchored in the center of the pedestal to which they are connected.

A pedestal may or may not be connected to a flagstaff.

Pedestals sides are referenced by letters with the northmost side being side "A". Other sides are labeled clockwise from there.

==Pedestal==
The pedestal is made of two parts: the body and the base. It's made of stone or marble and can vary greatly in size. Many pedestals consist only of the body and do not have a base.

==Flagstaff==
Most flagstaffs are made of wood, but a few are made of metal.

Venetian flagstaff pedestals were pieces of [[Material Culture|material culture]] used to display flags symbolizing ownership or allegiance to an organization. These flags, along with their flagstaffs and pedestals, were typically located in ''[[campo|campi]]'' near the group that they represented. Since far fewer flags are flown today in Venice, the flagstaff pedestal is often the only remaining symbol of this tradition. The pedestals themselves contain decorative designs, as well as historical or religious inscriptions and icons. The pedestal consists of two structural elements, the base and the body. The body holds the wood or metal flagstaff above the ground and contains the artistic elements, while the base is the platform on which the pedestal body rests.

==Statistics==
*Of the pedestals located in Venice, only 39 contain flagstaffs.
*34 of the 56 pedestals in Venice are located near the waterfront, which can be attributed to the mercantile and military purposes of the flags they would have flown.
*2 pedestals, located in [[San Marco]], sit directly in the water.
*9 pedestals display the Winged Lion of Saint Mark, all of which postdate 1797 AD.
*The [[Flagstaff Pedestal: San Marco 4267|oldest flagstaff pedestal]] is located in [[San Marco]] and dates from 1310 AD.
*The [[Flagstaff Pedestal: Cannaregio 873|most recent flagstaff pedestal]] is located in [[Cannaregio]] and dates from 1985 AD.

''This page contains information about a typical Venetian flagstaff pedestal.'' {{for|a list of wellheads|Flagstaff_Pedestals}}
A flagstaff pedestal, ''Pili Portabandiera'', is a piece of material culture used to display flags symbolizing ownership or allegiance to an organization.

==Structure==
A typical flagstaff pedestal has two main parts, a flagstaff and a pedestal. They are usually connected by brackets.

==Pedestal==
Pedestal serves as a base. It's made of stone or marble. The sizes of different pedestals vary a lot.

==Flagstaff==
Flagstaff is the part above the pedestal. Some are made of wood, and the other are made of metal.

Venetian flagstaff pedestals were pieces of [[Material Culture|material culture]] used to display flags symbolizing ownership or allegiance to an organization. These flags, along with their flagstaffs and pedestals, were typically located in ''[[campo|campi]]'' near the group that they represented. Since far fewer flags are flown today in Venice, the flagstaff pedestal is often the only remaining symbol of this tradition. The pedestals themselves contain decorative designs, as well as historical or religious inscriptions and icons. The pedestal consists of two structural elements, the base and the body. The body holds the wood or metal flagstaff above the ground and contains the artistic elements, while the base is the platform on which the pedestal body rests.

==Statistics==
*Of the pedestals located in Venice, only 35 contain flagstaffs.
*34 of the 55 pedestals in Venice are located near the waterfront, which can be attributed to the mercantile and military purposes of the flags they would have flown.
*2 pedestals, located in [[San Marco]], sit directly in the water.
*9 pedestals display the Winged Lion of Saint Mark, all of which postdate 1797 AD.
*The [[Flagstaff Pedestal: San Marco 4267|oldest flagstaff pedestal]] is located in [[San Marco]] and dates from 1310 AD.
*The [[Flagstaff Pedestal: Cannaregio 873|most recent flagstaff pedestal]] is located in [[Cannaregio]] and dates from 1985 AD.
