Italy’s Flag Day
by Sandy Mitchell on January 7th, 2008
January 7 is Tricolor Day–or Flag Day–in Italy. Italy’s distinctive flag, made of equal vertical banners of green, white, and red was just formally adopted in 1946, although variations of the theme had been used for centuries. The symbolism is pure: the green represents hope; the white, faith; and the red, charity.
