Long way to the national flag ... Continue the theme of the appearance of state flags... Today, according to the plan, we have a story about how the Republic of Italy acquired its state flag, and with it its national colors. And the first thing that should be mentioned here is that in the Middle Ages, what kind of flags fluttered over the blessed Italian land! Flags of cities and communes, dukes and earls, noble barons and condottieri adventurers. But they all obeyed one rule: they had to have a hint of support from higher powers. Hence, gold is the color of paradise, blue is the “divine heaven”, red is the color of the militant church, white is the purity and purely “dove-like” innocence, in a word, the entire Christian faith was reflected on the flags of medieval Italy. And all the colors ...

The flag of the so-called Golden Ambrosian Republic is a medieval state formation centered in Milan, which existed from August 14, 1447 to February 27, 1450. It included the lands of modern Lombardy and Piedmont. Named after the patron saint of the city and the Bishop of Milan from 374 to 397, St. Ambrose

But it is clear that some state formations set the tone. And one of them was the County of Savoy. It is known that when on June 20, 1366, Count Amadeus VI of Savoy went on a crusade against the Turks, and Pope Urban V blessed him, a fleet of 17 ships with 2 thousand people on board gathered under his command. And it was then that Amadeus ordered that on the flagship Venetian gallery, along with the traditional banner of Savoy, which was red with a silver cross, a blue flag with the image of the Virgin in a field studded with gold stars should be raised.

The military flag of the Lombard Legion, which was the first military unit to use the three national colors of Italy we know today in 1796

Why did he need it? Well, what about without the patronage of the Virgin Mary, because blue is her color! Well, the oldest flag of Savoy (1589), known to us from images, is again a cloth of red, white (the color of the coat of arms of the House of Savoy) and blue. By the way, a complete analogue of the colors of the first Russian flag. And who knows what Peter I was guided by at that time far from us: the Dutch or the Savoyans? After all, he read a lot about many flags and saw them abroad, too, in many and very different!

Flag of the Cispadan Republic, established in 1797

Well, where did the Italian tricolor itself come from: green, white and red stripes? The oldest document that mentions the Italian tricolor flag is associated with the arrival of Napoleon Bonaparte on the Italian peninsula. The first territory conquered by Napoleon was Piedmont. And in the historical archive of the Piedmontese municipality of Cherasco, a document was found confirming that on May 13, 1796, on the occasion of the armistice between Napoleon and the Austro-Piedmontese troops, tricolor flags were raised on three towers in the city center. That is, the idea of ​​the Italian flag was borrowed from the national flag of France after Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Italy and began to create republics there on the French model. But his colorist was borrowed from the city of Milan, or rather, from his red and white banner. The green color was also directly related to the city of Milan, since the soldiers of the city's civil guard wore green uniforms, well, how could the military not be a little flattering here?

Flag of the Cisalpine Republic, which existed in 1798-1802

The first flag of the Cispadan Republic was established on December 9, 1797. Then these same colors were used on the flag of the Cisalpine Republic, the Italian Republic and the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy. However, the design of these flags was different from the French.

Flag of the Italian Republic, which existed in 1802-1805

In the first case, it was a red cloth with a white rhombus with a green rectangle in it, in the second - a red cloth with a white rhombus with a green rectangle and the golden eagle of the French Empire spreading its wings. But these flags did not last long. After the defeat of Napoleon, the Italian states subject to him ceased to exist, and they were forgotten for many decades.

Over time, a legend was born that the creation of the national flag of the country is associated with the names of two students of the University of Bologna: Luigi Zamboni and Giovanni Battista De Rolandis. In the fall of 1794, they organized an armed uprising. And in order to distinguish ours from strangers, they came up with cockades for the colors of the national Italian flag. Their rebellion was suppressed, Luigi Zamboni committed suicide, and Giovanni Battista de Rolandis was executed, but the memory of the students has survived to this day. By the way, Napoleon himself had a hand in the creation of one of the Italian flags, who ordered that an eagle be on the flag.

Flag of the Italian Kingdom, which existed in 1805-1814

The flag of the Kingdom of Sardinia was the flag of Italy in 1816-1848

The entire first half of the 1861th century in Italy was held under the slogan of Risorgimento, that is, the movement for the unification of the country into a national state and the expulsion of the Austrians. In XNUMX the Risorgimento was crowned with success and the Kingdom of Italy was formed. The Sardinian constitution became the Italian constitution, but the Sardinian kingdom simply ceased to exist.

The state flag of the Kingdom of Italy since 1925 has acquired a crown

The new state needed a new flag. This was the tricolor coat of arms of the Savoy dynasty in the middle of the white field. Moreover, the coat of arms was surrounded by a blue border so that the white cross does not merge with the white background. So Italy got the following colors that can be considered national: green, white, red, blue. And the latter is not just "blue", but "Savoyard blue", which is a shade of blue between the lighter color of the first and the darker "peacock blue". It was named after the color of the House of Savoy, the royal dynasty that ruled Italy from 1861-1946. This color is also called "Italian blue". We see this color on the standard of the President of the Italian Republic, the same color on the ceremonial scarves of the officers of the Italian army and heads of the Italian provinces during official ceremonies. The uniform of Italian athletes and national teams is also blue. The same uniform is worn by the Italian national football team, which the Italians call for this - "Squadra Azzurra" ("blue team") and which first entered the field in blue on January 6, 1911, when they played in Milan with the Hungarian team.

Flag of the Republic of Salo

The national colors of the Italian tricolor were preserved during the Second World War. But there, on the flag of the so-called Italian Social Republic (the second name is the Republic of Salo; the republic was a puppet state in the territories of northern and partly central Italy occupied by Germany), which existed in the country in 1943-1945, an eagle "took off" with its wings spread, sitting on the lictor fascia.

Italian President's Standard 1965

The modern standard of the President of Italy. Approved November 4, 2000

In 1946, in connection with the liquidation of the monarchy in the country and the proclamation of the republic, the Savoy coat of arms was removed from the state flag, so that now Italy has the flag we know today. But the traditions of veneration of the Virgin Mary in the country have been preserved, so the blue color was also awarded to the ribbons of the Highest Order of the Holy Annunciation (an order established first by the Savoy dynasty, and then adopted in the Kingdom of Italy), the medal "For military valor" (three degrees) and the military award - the cross "For military valor".

Regions and cities also have their own flag in Italy. Moreover, many flags have survived from ancient times, while others have appeared relatively recently. The drawings on them are quite modern. By the way, many of them have a blue cloth, which once again indicates how popular it is in the country.

Flag of the region of Calabria

Piedmont region flag. All emblems on it, including the lambel, are very ancient

Lazio region flag

And this is the flag of the official, the Prime Minister of Italy

It is obvious that the formation of the national flag in Italy has a long history, is based, one might say, on centuries-old traditions. And in the end it gave a good result. After all, the basic colors of the flag have not changed for many years!

Italy is probably the best country in Europe, a mild Mediterranean climate, two harvests a year. Everything is in abundance. There are minerals, you can develop production. Here, according to the OI, the ancient state of Rome was born, to which the whole Western culture clung. True, no matter how much OI is not In the trend about the cradle of Western democracy, questions remain, and those answers to which authorized historians are reluctant to answer are satisfied only by dual schoolchildren who are not used to using their heads.
For example
-Rome conquered almost all of Europe and kept it under its rule for quite a long time, for centuries, then why the Italians have no relatives in Europe, well, except for the Romanians, who speak Romance, but the Orthodox themselves. By analogy with our time, for example, the British Empire for a couple centuries of possession of India was able to impose its language on the Indian elites and now English is the second state. But the "great Rome" could not impose its language on other peoples, as the Germans Balakali did in their own way then, so it all continues to this day.
As a state, Italy appeared in the world only in the 19th century, rallying from small principalities, by the way speaking their own way, because each principality had its own language or dialect. over the centuries of the existence of Rome, and then the millennia of the Middle Ages, even the state-uniform language of communication could not develop.

Yes, because your historians write so,

The Etruscans were ancient tribes that inhabited in the first millennium BC. e. north-west of the Apennine Peninsula (area - ancient Etruria, modern Tuscany) between the Arno and Tiber rivers and created a developed civilization that preceded the Roman and had a great influence on it. Roman culture inherited many customs and traditions from the Etruscan culture. Around the XNUMXnd century BC. e., due to assimilation by Rome, the Etruscan civilization ceased to exist.

The fact that it seemed to him that "ancient" is only hallucinations from the eleventh, they are usually all so, what is written in 1733 is taken for antiquity.
As for Etruria / correctly Etrusia, because the Etruscans lived there, you can, for example, bring up the famous atlas of Ortelius for 1588, there is also the same Etruria.
Well, the fact that Etruria / Etrusia existed in the Middle Ages once again proves that OI is untrue.

One of the versions why such a combination of colors (green-white-red) is that Mazzini took them from Dante's Divine Comedy.
Dante description Beatrice:

“[...] Sovra candido vel cinta d'uliva
donna m'apparve, sotto verde manto
vestita di color di fiamma viva. [...] "

(Divina Commedia, Purgatorio, versi 28/33).
But the most realistic version is different. The Italian republics of the Napoleonic era, which were the first to use these flags, were inspired by the French, and the revolutionary French tricolor was originally red-white-green, not blue.

It seems to me that this version is just as plausible as the version that the white-red-green tricolor was borrowed from the "Egyptian Freemasonry" founded by the swindler Kalliostro.
A much more plausible version is that Napoleon simply proposed changing the color blue to green to distinguish Italians from the French on the battlefield.

But all around canals, irrigation machines are working ... there is nowhere to spit so as not to get into the planting. And where there are mountains and hills, there are vineyards around. So if we talk about the peculiarity of the territory, then about the north of Italy we can say in one word - the granary!

That is the same Austria has continuously buried itself in Northern Italy. Or maybe it was under the influence of the Austrians that Northern Italy became so ... well-groomed. In general, I really respect Austria. For their love of art, especially music. As for the Italians, I think they got everything from the Middle Ages. Their only achievement is cinema, and even that is already in the past. Neorealism with its long talking pauses, during which the viewer had to get what the director wanted to say with them))) Sometimes it came, often not so much. Cinema is still a visual series.
But times have changed. Dynamics, speed, movement ... Pauses are not held in high esteem. Has anything changed in Italy itself? Or she remained on a pause and only touches the old flags, examining them and recalling the stormy, dangerous, but so young times long gone.

I read a number of books written by Americans and Englishmen who moved to Italy. Why? And it's calm there! Not in Rome, of course. No one is in a hurry and everyone eats very tasty!

[kalibr]

I also drove through Austria and was surprised by two things: the number of tunnels and farms on the hills, and also the small harvesters harvesting wheat on their slopes. Well, Vienna's museums are unforgettable. Richer than Paris, Venice, Berlin ... Although there is Pergamon in Berlin, there are Ephesian marbles in Vienna.

[depressant]

Do you know what buys me in Austria?
There is a stage outside the city, surrounded by a forest. Not a stadium, but a stage and spectator seats on the hillside, designed for several thousand people. There concerts are held from spring to late autumn. And if it's cold, the listeners wrap themselves in the blankets they brought with them. And the "auditorium" is always crowded. And they don't give pop music from the stage, but serious orchestras play serious music. Culture, however. I really like it, and I miss it so much in life! As if people there live in another time dimension.

Just for fun, I looked at what colors are used on the flags of the Italian regions. It became interesting what color is used most often.
He took seven heraldic colors and, at his discretion, attributed this or that color to any heraldic one. For example, pink was considered red, gray - white, blue - blue. If a color is found in a very scanty amount, I did not count it.
So, we have twenty regions, each with its own symbolism. Next: the color and the number of times it was used in the coat of arms or flag of a particular region.
Red - 14
Blue - 12
Green - 9
Black - 7
Magenta - 1
Yellow - 7
White - 18
In total, white is in the lead with a clear margin - 18 out of 20, it is not in the symbolism of only two regions
In second place - red - 14 out of 20
In third place is blue - 12 out of 20.
Green is not among the top three winners.
By the way, it seems to me that these same heraldic colors may well be arranged in the same order if we analyze the flags and emblems of, for example, all countries in general. But I'm too lazy to do it.

[kalibr]

Hats off to such hard work and resourcefulness. Wonderful study and addition! This is not a Bar with a card "Ancient Italy" ... And what about white is not surprising. The white star on the coat of arms of Italy is one of its ancient symbols.

Vyacheslav Olegovich, for everything about everything, no more than twenty minutes, plus write the text of the comment itself. When fast internet is at hand, there are no problems at all.
I opened a text file, wrote down the names of the colors, opened the "administrative division of Italy" in Wiki, clicked on each region and then opened the required page, looked at the colors, put one against each color in the text file. Consider the result, write a comment, that's it!

Duc is the same, in heraldry and vexillology white, blue and red are considered the most common colors, their combination is considered the most harmonious, and individually they are the most, so to speak, aesthetic. From which some not very distant people often draw far-reaching conclusions. I've even met some shots who believed that Napoleon (exactly he!) Stole the French tricolor from Russia

But they all obeyed one rule: they had to have a hint of support from higher powers. Hence, gold is the color of paradise, blue is the “divine heaven”, red is the color of the militant church, white is the purity and purely “dovish” innocence, in a word, the entire Christian faith was reflected on the flags of medieval Italy. And all the colors ...
You, Vyacheslav Olegovich, give the meaning of flowers in accordance with the iconographic canons. But flags are not an icon, they were hardly created according to the canons of icon painting, this is still heraldry and vexillology.
Hence, gold is a symbol of wealth, justice and generosity, on the flag is the desire for victory.

For example, if Russian, if he listens, he will always understand a Ukrainian, how Ukrainians do not try, but so far the Ukrainian language has not run too far aside, because the basis of Ukrainian is still Russian rules and a dictionary.
But let's say, Low German-Dutch and some sort of Swabian upper German, it will be a problem to understand each other.

and English, with its simplified genders and cases of nouns and vice versa, are unjustifiably complicated forms of verb conjugation? These are big differences from, say, the rules of the Berlin dialect.
