The statute of "Partito Democratico Cristiano
Sammarinese" describes the party flag as follows (in Article
1 from Title 1):
"L'emblema del Partito è l'effige del patrono San marino.
La bandiera è il vessillo bianco-azzurro in due bande
orrizontali recante l'emblema al centro."
[The party emblem is the effigy of the patron San Marino. The
banner is a flag horizontally divided white-blue with the emblem
in the middle.]. See <www.pdcs.sm>.
The flag is unfortunately not shown on the party website, which
only shows the emblem.
Anyway, I guess that the emblem, when placed on the flag or used
on official documents, shows the saint in a vertical position
rather than tilted as shown on the website.

I noticed a video on youtube about the San Marino "Rovereta Affair" at
https://www.youtube.com.
There were some flag like images, but the one I was sure off was at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlywur_QEx4&t=360s. This was the Partito
Comunista Sammarinese: The SM communist party at the time of the affair.
It's a red flag with in the three mountains with their towers, below them the
hammer and sickle, and at the bottom the name of the party.

The flag, along with several other which were used by the party, was
presented in Schmöger, [smg11], "Political
Party Flags of San Marino" at ICV 24 (Alexandria, 2011):

Let me add that the inscription is bowed upwards, the tower doors are black,
and there is a down-pointing five-pointed star centered at the top edge of the
flag, above the middle tower; somewhat surprisingly, the ostrich feathers are
not absent. All these are yellow.
(In this same video, there is footage
of this flag flying in the wind, hoisted to a pole, seen from below: I’m almost
sure this is not actually filmed, but rather programmatically rendered in
animation, even if it’s photo-realistic.)
The author informs that this flag is in the "archive of the current PSD" and
describes it thus:"The earliest flag (Fig. 6) shows the party name under a star
and hammer & sickle on a red field, accompanied by a stylized version of the
central element of the Sammarinese arms, the three towers on three mountains;
the mountains are depicted remarkably flat. The flag is a single item, fringed
on three sides, the emblems embroidered in a now bleached golden colour."
That latter detail is important, as apparently the maker of this video
didn’t observe carefully and used white elements on red for the diagrams and
ornamental animation.
