Isla Saona (Saona Island) is located close to the south-east tip of
the Dominican Republic. On 14 September 1494, Michele da Cuneo, member of the
second expedition led by Christopher Colombus, landed on the island. Called
Adaymanas by its Taino inhabitants, the
island was renamed after the name of da Cuneo’s birth town.

According to Luis
Simó in Listin Diario, 25 March 2008, the
Italian city of Savona and the Dominican island of
Saona has set up a partnership program. Accordingly, the flag of Savona shall
be permanently hosted on the square of the village of Mano Juan, on Isla Saona,
while the national flag of the Dominican Republic shall be hoisted over the
city hall of Savona.

I have not found any image of the flag hoisted in Mano Juan, but we
can expect to see there the official flag of Savona, that is a flag
horizontally divided red-white-red.
