If there is a symbol every Italian identifies with, that’s the Tricolore. A synonym of national unity and of the many battles we fought to get the Belpaese we love. A reminder of the tragic sea of people who died for the very ideals which, today, characterize and inspire our society, it has also, on more than one occasion, invited the people of Italy to feel like one in their shared history, and to recognize themselves with strength in the symbols of the Republic.
“The bandiera tricolore must be present in our homes and kept with care. It is a living, contemporary symbol, the modern emblem of an ancient people of great culture, traditions, art, nobility of spirit. It should be given as a gift by mayors – who all wear a tricolored sash – to newly-weds and every new Italian citizen.”
