what does the Italian flag look like?
From left to right, it is three vertical stripes, green, white and red. The colors were originally an adaptation of the Flag of France, with green instead of blue. Some have tried to attribute some particular values to the colors, and a common interpretation is that green is for the plains and the hills, white for the snowy Alps, and red for the blood spilt in the Italian Independence wars. A more religious intepretation is that green represents hope, white represents faith and red represents charity.
