The flag of Italy (Italian: Bandiera d'Italia), often referred to in Italian as il Tricolore, isfeaturing three equally-sized vertical pales of green, white and red, with the green at the hoist side. Its current form has been in use since 18 June 1946 and was formally adopted on 1 January 1948.[1]
Some have attributed particular values to the colours, and a common interpretation is that the green represents the country's plains and the hills; white, the snow-capped Alps; and red, blood spilt in the Wars of Italian Independence and Unification. A more religious interpretation is that the green represents hope, the white represents faith, and the red represents charity; this references the three theological virtues.[3]

Thank you for the explanation Annamaria.
Here it is Revolution Day the now old and used 25 April of the rossi garofano.
Under wraps because of the "situation" they say but still an official holyday with Parliamentary speeches and the works "at a social distance" as it is say . . .
Take care and believe only the green…

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
