Removed flag of Italian Republic from Infobox, per WP:ICON; Italian Republic is secular state.[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. [Asti was for many centuries part of the German Empire (Holy Roman Empire), of the French revolutionary Republic, of the Empire of Napoleon I and of his Kingdom of Italy, of the Papal States, and of the Savoyard Kingdom of Italy. The Italian flag removed was that of the Republic of Italy, not created until 1946]....
  • 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.
