Italy - Flag

The flag of Italy is a tricolor consisting of three vertical bands of green, white, and red. Adopted in its current form in 1946 following the establishment of the Italian Republic, the flag symbolizes the unified Italian nation and has deep historical roots dating back to the late 18th century. Its colors have various attributed meanings; green is often associated with the country's plains and hills, white with the snow-capped Alps, and red with the blood shed in the Wars of Italian Independence. The Italian flag is a powerful national symbol, prominently displayed during public holidays, international events, and cultural celebrations reflecting Italy's rich history and identity.
