The Italian Flag, known as "Il Tricolore," features three vertical stripes of equal width. The colors from left to right are green, white, and red. The flag's design was officially adopted in 1946, although its origins date back to the late 18th century during the Italian unification. Each color has its own significance: green represents the country's plains and hills, white symbolizes the snow-capped Alps, and red stands for the blood shed for Italy's independence. The flag is a national symbol and is prominently displayed during national holidays and events, reflecting Italy's rich history and culture.
