Italian Flag - Symbol of Italy’s Unity and Heritage #3541670 (License: Personal Use)

The national flag of Italy consists of three equal vertical bands of green, white, and red, adopted as the national symbol in 1946 after the monarchy’s abolition. Its design traces back to the Cisalpine Republic in 1797, inspired by the French tricolor but with colors representing hope (green), faith (white), and charity (red). The flag is used officially on government buildings, during national holidays, and international events like the Olympics and FIFA World Cup.
