The flag of Italy, referred in Italian as “il tricolore” or “la bandiera d’Italia”, consists of three equal

vertical bands: fern green (hoist side), bright white and flame scarlet. Its current form has been

adopted on the 1st of January 1948.

Proportion 2:3

The colors symbolize different concepts; the most common is that the green represents Italy’s

beautiful landscapes, the white the majestic Alps, and the red the blood shed for the country’s

independence. Others connect the three colours to the three theological virtues: green for hope,

white for faith, and red, the charity.

There is a similarity of appearance between “la bandiera” and Mexico’s national flag, but they

can still be differentiated because the last one has more darker shades of green and red, has a

coats of arms positioned over the white band, and its proportions are 4:7 therefore a more

elongated rectangular shape.
