The flag has a striped field (four each green and white) with the 
coat of arms on a square white canton. The coat of arms is classically 
heraldic and can be blazoned in English as quarterly or and vert, overall an 
escutcheon gules a cross argent within a bordure azure. The inescutcheon is 
that of the Kingdom of Italy and presumably implies an Italian connection; 
many areas of Paraná were settled by Italian immigrants in the late 19th 
and early 20th centuries.
