The '''Republic of Alba''' ({{lang-it|Repubblica di Alba}}) was a [[French client republic]] proclaimed on [[25 April]] [[1796]], in [[Alba (CN)|Alba]], northern [[Italy]]. It covered the area of [[Piedmont]]. It ceased to exist on [[19 April]] [[1801]], when it was annexed by France.
The flag of the Republic of Alba was designed by Juan Antonio Ranza who said that the blue and red were for France and the orange is devoted to the tree of the Piedmont's shield. The flag existed in both horizontal and vertical [[tricolour]] versions.
