what does it mean?

about Italian flag

 

a common interpretation is that the green represents the country's plains and the hills, white, the snow-capped Alps and red, blood spilt in the Wars of Italian Independence.

A more religious interpretation is that the green represents hope, the white represents faith and the red represents charity

Hey, don't forget the European flag!

 

 The Flag of Europe is the flag and emblem of the European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE).[4] It consists of a circle of 12 golden (yellow) stars on a blue background. The blue represents the west, the number of stars represents completeness while their position in a circle represents unity. The stars do not vary according to the members of either organisation as they are intended to represent all the peoples of Europe, even those outside European integration. There are however alternative, unofficial, religious interpretations of the flag.
