The municipality of Etruria (3,788 inhabitants in 2001) is located in the south of the Córdoba Province, 200 km from Córdoba City and 60 km from Villa María.
Etruria originates in the establishment of the small village of Pueblo Soria on the estate owned by Bernabé Soria. The Etruria railway station, built on the Villa María-Rufino line, was inaugurated on 25 October 1890.
The municipality of Etruria was established east of the station on 17 May 1893 by Santiago Díaz.

## La Playosa

Municipality of La Playosa is located in the Department of General San Martin, Cordoba. Its flag was officially unveiled on 15.10.2010.
"The flag is designed in fundamental bands in the form of three horizons, here a first parallel with the national flag. One in the manner of the sky, and for that very reason open sky blue, a color that, derived from azure, symbolizes in heraldry royalty and nobility of sentiments; another in the middle, the vital space of the activity of the people of Playa del Carmen, and for that reason white, since this color is commonly a sign of dignity and altruism; and a third below, which represents the soil of the humid pampa in which the town and its main activities are located, and for that very reason green, the color of pastures and native forests, and in a higher order the color of life, and of the hope of the inhabitants in their present and future.
The flag of the town of La Playosa was designed by Father José María Delfino, and chosen by the people who were part of the jury, among 39 other presentations in the contest during the month of August and September 2010."

The badge of Ticino bears components from Ticino, Switzerland - the red/blue lower half, beneath a fragment of the Swiss national flag.

I wonder if the founders and later habitants adopted the Italian pronounciation of "Ticino", or if the pronounciation, especially the "ci" syllable, is pronounced in the Spanish (or South American Spanish) way.

## Villa Maria

Municipality of Villa Maria is located in the Department of General San Martin, Cordoba.
"On 12.08.2025, The Municipality of Villa María presented the flag chosen to represent the city, an emblem that will distinguish the people of Villa María for posterity, while also accompanying the national and provincial flags from the moment of its materialization.
The proposal “Quinquela Martín” (pseudonym used by the participant) was chosen by majority vote among the 28 options presented within the framework of the program “Villa María Becomes a Flag”, organized by the Secretariats of Human Development and Territory, and of Government, Culture and Institutional Relations.
This proposal belongs to a young man from Villa María, Lucio Bizzarri, and from now on, on August 20, the date on which 110 years have passed since Villa María was declared a city, it will be presented to all institutions and the community.
This flag is divided vertically into three equal sections. The left section is light blue, representing our river flowing from northwest to southeast, the source of life and strength for our city. The right section is green, representing our countryside, development, and the hope of a growing community. In the center is a white section, symbolizing balance and peace, with a golden sun as its central symbol. The sun is inspired by the suns painted by Fernando Bonfiglioli on the ceiling of our city's cathedral, but it has been modified to include 39 rays, symbolizing the 39 neighborhoods of our city."

## Villa Nueva Municipality

image by Ivan Sache, 06 Jan 2014

The municipality of Villa Nueva (18,818 inhabitants in 2010) is located in the center of the Córdoba Province. Together with the adjacent town of Villa María, it forms the entity known as Greater Villa María or Villa María - Villa Nueva (98,169 inh.).
Villa Nueva is of unknown exact origin, since the Act and Decree of foundation of the town have been lost. The settlement appears to have emerged on plots offered in October 1826 by Apolinario Carranza, Juan Bautista Carranza, José del Tránsito Carranza, Hilarión Carranza, Renovato de las Casas, Martín Abaca, León Correa and Benito Correa. The provincial government appointed Ramón Roldán to survey the new settlement.
The new settlement was named Villa Nueva (New Town) for the sake of differentiation from the neighbouring Villa Vieja (Old Town). Originally named Villa Nueva la del Paso de Ferreyra, the town was renamed Villa Nueva del Rosario, and, eventually, in 1836, Villa Nueva.
The flag of Villa Nueva, designed by Zunilda Carmen Barrera, is prescribed by Municipal Resolution No. 1,475 of 27 September 2005.
The flag is quartered per saltire, 1. White charged with "VILLA" in black letters, 2. Blue a yellow rising sun, 3. white charged with "NUEVA" in black letters, 4. Green border dark blue on the left and brown on the right, charged with smaller light green rectangles.
The upper quarter shows the heavens as a symbol of spirituality and purity and a rising sun as the biggest source of life.
The two triangles contrast with the colour of the heavens and recall with it the colours of the national flag.
In the lower quarter, the blue stripe represents river Ctalamochita, while the brown stripe represents the Royal Trail. They converge into the center of the flag, representing the town lit by the sun, watered by the river and served by the trail. The green triangle represents the pampas within which the town is located. The small rectangles represent the map of Villa Nueva, reflecting in a scattered pattern the constant growth of a urbanized and united settlement.
