The flag of Italy The flag of Italy has got three colours: green, white, and red, with the green at left. Its current form has been in use since 19 June 1946 and was formally adopted on 1 January 1948.

The tricolour was founded in Reggio Emilia in 1797 by the Cispadane Republic.
The colours were red and white, which were the colours of the flag of Milan; and green, which was the colour of the uniform of the Milanese civic guard.

Some people gave particular values to the colours, and a common interpretation is that the green represents the country's plains and the hills; white, the snow-capped Alps; and red, blood spilt in the Wars of Italian Independence. Napoleonic period The Cispadane Republic and the Transpadane Republic, merged into the Cisalpine Republic and adopted the vertical square tricolour without badge in 1798.

Risorgimento From 1848 to 1861, a sequence of events led to the independence and unification of Italy; this period is also called Risorgimento. During this period, the tricolore became the symbol which united all the efforts of the Italian people towards freedom and independence.

The Italian tricolour was adopted on 1 January 1948, at the end of the reign of the House of Savoy. Article 12, approved by the Constituent Assembly on the 22 December 1947, states: The flag of the Republic is the Italian tricolour: green, white, and red, in three vertical bands of equal dimensions.

Fratelli d'Italia, l'Italia s'è desta, dell'elmo di Scipio s'è cinta la testa. Dov'è la Vittoria? Le porga la chioma, che schiava di Roma Iddio la creò. Stringiamoci a coorte, siam pronti alla morte. Siam pronti alla morte, l'Italia chiamò. Stringiamoci a coorte siam pronti alla morte. Siam pronti alla morte, l'Italia chiamò, sì! The Italian national anthelm is best know among Italians as Inno di Mameli (Mameli’s Hymn), or Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy). The words were written in 1847 by Goffredo Mameli, a student and a patriot.
