What each of the colors of the Italian flag represent?
I'm doing a project, it is necessary to know what each color on the Italian flag!
The Italian flag was born without a real specific meaning from the French model, during the Napoleonic era. Italy was at that time, a country deeply divided into many states (most of them, the Church of Rome), Milan was out of Rome, the most influential city. The real "Tricolore" in indicator of origin of Milan (white and red) merged with the typical color of the uniforms of the guards Milanese (green) was only later adopted by the House of Savoy (which became, after the reunification of Italy, the reigning family in Italy to the Republic in 1946) during the "Romantic revolution" in across Europe (during the 19th Century) the flag and its colors have been endowed with poetic meaning. Among them: * green * le nostre Pianura come le nevi Bianco delle Alpi e degli Apennines * Rosso Come il sangue dai nostri compatriot versato per l'Unione della nostra terra – Green as our plain – White as snow in the Alps – Red like the blood that was shed to reunite our country Another interpretation has been profoundly influenced by the church: the three theological virtues: * Green * bianco per la speranza per la fede * rosso per the face-Green-faith, hope, red and white for charity, I did some research on Wikipedia IT, you can have a look there. "Bandiera Italiana" I used Today's my final answer for you. I hope that helped: D
