Italian Flag History
Like many other country tricolors, Italy’s flag was inspired by France. The French, in fact, once had the green, white, and red colors on their cockades before switching from green to blue. This confusion led the Italian Jacobins to use the green color and decided to keep it rather than switching to blue like France. The tricolor cockades became increasingly popular at the end of the 1700s, with the Italian cockade becoming a symbol of the country. The first tricolor flag began showing up around this time, as well, such as when Napoleon conquered the Italian peninsula. The tricolor flag was also used by the Lombard Legion as a military flag. The first red, white, and green flag to become a national flag did so in 1797. This flag included an emblem in the middle featuring garland, a trophy of arms, and arrows to represent the four provinces that formed the Italian republic at the time. The colors were also originally arranged horizontally, but subsequently changed to vertical in 1798.
While the tricolor was kept, different revisions of the flag were made over the years, such as including the arms of Savoy (the ruling house) and a crown for the Kingdom of Italy from 1861 to 1946. The Savoy arms were removed from the flag in 1946 after the Italian Republic was founded. This resulted in the modern design of the Italy flag, which became official on June 18, 1946.
Italian Flag Meaning and Colors
Green: The first green stripe originally symbolized freedom and social equality. Green has also been attributed to other meanings, such as the Italian landscape, such as meadows and the Mediterranean maquis, or hope for a more idealistic interpretation.
White: This color came from the French flag where it represented the monarchy, which became a symbol of political renewal during the revolution. Other interpretations see white as a reference to the snowy Alps or faith.
Red: This was another color taken from the flag of France and was a color associated with Paris, as well as political change. The red stripe of the Italy flag has also been contributed to representing the blood from the Wars of Italian Independence and Unification or charity and love.
