The document discusses the flags of Italy - the national flag and the flag of the Italian navy. The national flag, known as the Tricolore, was officially adopted in 1919 and features three vertical stripes of green, white, and red that represent the countryside, mountains, and blood spilled during Italian unification. The flag of the Italian navy features a shield in the middle divided into four squares representing the maritime republics of Venice, Genoa, Amalfi, and Pisa.

2. 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".

9. 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).
