Italy Flag - National Symbol of the Italian Republic #2306940 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Italy consists of three equal vertical bands: green (hoist side), white, and red. It was first adopted as a national symbol by the Cisalpine Republic in 1797 and became the official flag of the unified Kingdom of Italy in 1861; the current republican version has been in use since June 19, 1946. The colors are traditionally interpreted as green for hope, white for faith, and red for charity-or alternatively, green for the land, white for snow-capped Alps, and red for blood shed in independence struggles.
