Section 'Parishes'

I propose the removal of the excessivly detailed data under the Parishes section of the article:

(1) excessive number of red links (which probably will never achieve notability);
(2) individual items are not referenced;
(3) wiki-links are to Italian communes, not to parishes, and the communes do not mention parishes;
(4) doubtful purpose for the list, which section does not make clear. Is the list notable? Simply because it exists and can be cut-and-pasted, does not make it notable. It should probably be deleted, unless the problems mentioned can be fixed; but I doubt its value even if it is moved elsewhere.

Removed flag of Italian Republic (1948) , per [WP:ICON]

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. [Luni, Sarzana, and Brugnato were for many centuries part of the Lombard Kingdom, of the German Empire, of the Republic of Genoa, of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, and under the domination of the French and the Spanish. The Italian flag used 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.
