The flag

According to a well-known belief, the Italian tricolor flag would include green to symbolize our prairies, white as a symbol of the perennial snows of the Alps, and red in memory of the fallen in the innumerable wars of which the Italian territory was theater, up to the unity of the nation.

According to official historiography, the Italian tricolor was born in 1794, when two Bolognese students: Giovanni Battista De Rolandis and Luigi Zamboni, tried an uprising against the Austrian absolutist power that had oppressed their city for almost 200 years. On May 18th, 1796 in Milan the colors of this rosette were accepted by Napoleon, who gave the Milanese Civic Guard, the Lombard Legion and the National Guard a vertical white and red green striped flag.
