La bandiera d’Italia: What does the Italian flag look like?

The Italian Flag is a vertical tricolour flag with 3 equally sized bands. It has 3 colours; green (left), white (centre) and red (right). In Italian it is called il tricolore – verde, bianco e rosso. Each colour has its own meaning:

verde – speranza (hope)
bianco – fede (faith)
rosso – carita`(charity)
