The Flag of Italy consists of three vertical bands of equal width, colored green, white, and red from left to right. This tricolor design was officially adopted in 1946, although its origins date back to the late 18th century during the Italian unification. Each color is said to represent different values: green symbolizes hope, white represents faith, and red stands for charity. The flag's design is simple yet iconic, making it easily recognizable worldwide. It is often displayed during national holidays, sporting events, and other celebrations, reflecting the pride of the Italian people in their rich history and culture.
