Bright green, the colour of the flag's background, represents the
greenness of the fertile fields, which are abundant in our region. The
wheat ears, below the emblem, represent the valuable crops of the
region; the bovine's head, at the emblem's right, represents cattle-
breeding, the main source of income for the inhabitants; the horse's
head, at the emblem's left, reflects the tradition of the gauchos.
In the middle of the flag, the proper shield of the municipality is
placed on a white halo to increase its luminosity and splendour. It
represents Del Campillo located in the Córdoba Province, therefore the
shape of the shield is the same as for the provincial coat of arms.
The background of the shield, with the national colours, identifies
Del Campillo as part of Argentina. The shield is crossed by two
spears, recalling the Pampas, the first inhabitants of the region, men
and women who rambled through the desert at their own will, like all
men living in compliance with their best dreams. Over the spears, in
the middle, a disk argent; the disk, as the Italian model of shield
shape, evokes immigration that transformed the desert into a working
force. Argent is a symbol of humility, frankness, purity and
integrity, the virtues that were, are, and will be the ideal of the
inhabitants. The natives and the immigrants are synthesized in the
name of the settlement, Del Campillo. On the field argent, a sun or,
considered as a celeste emblem representing aspiration to future,
justice, dignity, sovereignty, and purity, emerges from a cropped
field, symbolizing agriculture and cattle-breeding. On its side stands
a tree representing loyalty and felicity, flanked by a mill, an
element characteristic of the landscape representing the domination of
nature by man. The landscape is dominated by a tractor, symbol of work
and technology.
