the flag of italy with a cross on it's chest and an old paper texture

The flag of Malta is a basic bicolor, with white in the hoist and red in the fly. A representation of the George Cross, awarded to Malta by George VI of the United Kingdom in 1942, is carried, edged with red, in the canton of the white stripe. Tradition states that the colors of the flag were given to Malta by Roger I of Sicily in 1090. This story has, however, been debunked as a 19th-century myth.The flag of the Knights of Malta, a white cross on a red field, was a more likely source.
