OUR NATIONAL FLAG

The flag of Italy was officially adopted on January 21, 1919. The national flag of Italy is a tricolor flag that features three equally sized vertical stripes of green, white and red.

The green represents the countryside, the white the mountains, the red the blood spilt during the unification of Italy. Another, more religious, interpretation claims that the green represents hope, the white represents faith and the red charity. We named our flag "il Tricolore".

Because our School is on the street called “Maritime Republics”, we studied the origin of the flag of the Italian navy. This flag shows in the middle a shield divided into four squares representing just the four Maritime Republics: Venice (represented by the lion, top left), Genoa (top right), Amalfi (bottom left), and Pisa (represented by their respective crosses).

Now, you will see how we work! We hope our drawings will

teach you not only

the classic Tricolore but also

our Navy flag
