Carini's Old Flag
   This is Carini's old flag, from the times of the La Gruas, Barons of Carini. As one can see, on top, on the left field makes a show the Castle's Tower and the LA Grua's family coat of arms: the Crane. At right, in the sea, is a swimming tuna, symbol of the city's old industry. On the field below there is a dog between two
small globules.

   In a bronze coin, found in that of Garbulangeli, there where the first Ikkar was born, there is a bearded face in one side, representing, maybe, Dedalus of Athens, the builder of Ikkar, with the inprint "IKAP" (which goes read IKAR), and on the other side a vigilant dog in a field between two small globules,
of which we do not know the meaning.
