History of the Italian Flag. The first use of a green/white/red tricolor design for a flag in what is now Italy was in 1796 when it represented a republic in the north. The red and white came from the flag of Milan, and the green from the color of the regionâs military.Within a year, that republic had merged with another â and the tricolor design would be abandoned and re-adopted over the years â but the three colors used would remain.s a schoolkid in the United States, I distinctly remember learning precisely what all the symbolism of the U.S. flag meant â the stripes, the stars, and the colors. But for some reason, it didnât occur to me until recently that there was probably similar meaning behind the design and the colors of the Italian flag.
