Si deve pensare oltre che a se stessi anche agli altri e oltre che al presente anche al futuro.
( Vittorio Foa )

L’uscita di scena di Berlusconi segna la fine di un’era e l’avvio di una nuova stagione. Ora l’Italia ha disperatamente bisogno di nuova linfa
( Charles Kupchan, ex consigliere di Clinton )

In questi tempi difficili non possiamo perdere di vista i più colpiti dalla crisi: i poveri, il pianeta, i giovani, le donne. I meno responsabili stanno pagando il prezzo più alto.
( Ban Ki Moon )

"Non siamo noi a trovare la Verità. È la Verità a trovare noi. Dobbiamo solo prepararci".
"Si può invitare un ospite che non si conosce? No. Ma si può mettere la casa in ordine, così che, quando l'ospite arriva, si è pronti a riceverlo e a conoscerlo".
( Tiziano Terzani )

Questo è un altro aspetto rasserenante della natura: la sua immensa bellezza è lì per tutti. Nessuno può pensare di portarsi a casa un'alba o un tramonto.
( Tiziano Terzani )

L'Amico Francesco_43 mi manda questa bella citazzione !!

" Sotto un involucro di sorriso e di bonomia, l'Italia è diventata il paese d'Europa più duro da vivere, quello in cui più violenta e più assillante è diventata la lotta per il denaro e per il successo. "
Guido Piovene, Viaggio in Italia, 1957

A chi ci crede fermamente e A chi è indeciso se farsene coinvolgere
A chi è ne deluso e A chi ne è orgoglioso
A chi la ritiene utile quando c'è la Nazionale e A chi della Nazione non gli importa un fico secco
A chi ha combattuto da una parte o dall'altra, con la fedeltà di soldato o per la passione di una idea
A chi sta scoprendo o riscoprendo la sua italianità e A chi l'ha perduta
A chi, straniero, oggi si scopre più italiano
A chi si fregia della sua italianità e A chi la rifugge
A chi la vorrebbe laica e a chi religiosa (ma invitando l'ignavo a scegliere!)
A chi conosce bene la sua storia e A chi la sta scoprendo ora
... e A chi -con me e come me- scrive oggi la sua storia
Centocinquanta auguri alla nostra Italia

Auguri Italia

Comemora-se hoje os 150 anos da Unificação Italiana

A configuração político-territorial da Itália, no início de século XIX, sofreu grande intervenção por parte das medidas firmadas pelo Congresso de Viena de 1814. Com os acordos consolidados, a atual região da Itália ficou dividida em oito estados independentes, sendo que alguns deles eram controlados pela Áustria.

Nesse mesmo período de recondicionamento da soberania monárquica, movimentos nacionalistas afloraram em diferentes partes da Itália. Ao mesmo tempo, as motivações e projetos desses grupos nacionalistas eram bastante variados. Envolvendo grupos de trabalhadores urbanos e rurais e alcançando até mesmo a burguesia nacional, o Risorgimento manifestava-se em ideais que passavam por tendências republicanas e, até mesmo, monárquicas.

Outra interessante manifestação nacionalista também pôde ser contemplada com o aparecimento dos carbonários. A ação dos carbonários se estabeleceu ao sul da Itália sob a liderança do comunista Filippo Buonarotti. Lutando contra a ação dos governos absolutistas, o carbonarismo foi um dos mais importantes movimentos nacionalistas de bases popular da Itália.

Em 1831, Giuseppe Mazzini liderou outro movimento republicano representado pela criação da Jovem Itália. Mesmo não obtendo sucesso, o nacionalismo italiano ainda teve forças para avivar suas tendências políticas. No ano de 1847, uma série de manifestações anti-monárquicas tomaram conta da região norte, nos reinos de Piemonte e Sardenha, e ao sul no Reino das Duas Sicílias. No Reino da Lombardia consolidou-se um dos maiores avanços republicanos quando o rei foi obrigado a instituir um Poder Legislativo eleito pelos cidadãos.

Mesmo com a agitação dessas revoltas, a presença austríaca e o poder monárquico conseguiram resistir à crescente tendência republicana. Só com o interesse da burguesia industrial do norte da Itália, politicamente patrocinada pelo primeiro-ministro piemontês Camilo Benso di Cavour, que o processo de unificação começou a ter maior sustentação. Angariando o apoio militar e político dos Estados vizinhos e do rei francês Napoleão III, em 1859, a guerra contra a Áustria teve seu início.

Temendo a deflagração de movimentos de tendência socialista e republicana, o governo Francês retirou o seu apoio ao movimento de unificação. Ainda assim, Camilo di Cavour conseguiu unificar uma considerável porção dos reinos do norte. Nesse mesmo período, ao sul, Giuseppe Garibaldi liderou os “camisas vermelhas” contra as monarquias sulistas. Para não enfraquecer o movimento de unificação, Garibaldi decidiu abandonar o movimento por não concordar com as idéias defendidas pelos representantes do norte.

Dessa maneira, os monarquistas do norte controlaram a unificação estabelecendo o rei Vítor Emanuel II. No ano de 1861, o Reino da Itália era composto por grande parte do seu atual território. Entre 1866 e 1870, após uma série de conflitos, as cidades de Veneza e Roma foram finalmente anexadas ao novo governo. A unificação da Itália teve seu fim no ano de 1929, quando após anos e anos de resistência da autoridade papal, o tratado de Latrão completou a formação da nação italiana.

Italia. Florencia. Vista panorámica de la ciudad.

Florencia (Firenze en italiano) es una ciudad situada al norte de la región central de Italia, capital y ciudad más poblada de la provincia homónima y de la región de Toscana, de la que es su centro histórico, artístico, económico y administrativo. Posee 368.901 habitantes (2009), y es el centro de un área metropolitana de aproximadamente millón y medio de habitantes.
Capital de Italia entre 1865 y 1871 durante la Unificación italiana, en la edad media fue un importante centro cultural, económico y financiero. Conoció su época de mayor esplendor tras la instauración del Gran Ducado de Toscana bajo el dominio de la dinastía Médici.
Florencia es el núcleo urbano en el que se originó en la segunda mitad del siglo XIV el movimiento artístico denominado Renacimiento, y es considerada una de las cunas mundiales del arte y de la arquitectura. Su centro histórico fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1982, y en él destacan obras medievales y renacentistas como la cúpula de Santa María del Fiore, el Ponte Vecchio, la Basílica de Santa Cruz, el Palazzo Vecchio y museos como los Uffizi, el Bargello o la Galería de la Academia, que acoge al David de Miguel Ángel.
La ciudad de Florencia se encuentra situada en el centro de una cuenca, rodeada por tres lados por las colinas arcillosas de Cercina que se sitúan sobre el barrio de Rifredi y el hospital de Careggi al norte, por las colinas de Fiesole al noreste, de Setignano al este, y de Arcetri, Poggio Imperiale y Bellosguardo al sur. La llanura sobre la que se encuentra la ciudad es atravesada por el río Arno y por otros cursos de agua menores como el Mugnone, el Terzolle y el río Greve.
El Área metropolitana de Florencia, Prato y Pistoia es un área densamente poblada que comprende la totalidad de la Provincia de Florencia, de Prato y de Pistoia. Las zonas llanas del área metropolitana constituyen espacios altamente modificados por el ser humano, con amplios sectores industriales y comerciales, en los que los espacios naturales son muy reducidos. Las zonas de colinas adyacentes a la ciudad cuentan desde hace siglos una vocación fundamentalmente agrícola y habitacional, y sus bosques originarios han sido reducidos de forma drástica por la actividad humana, especialmente en las zonas al sur y al este de la ciudad. Existen zonas húmedas hacia el oeste de la ciudad siguiendo el curso del río Arno.

Italia. Bérgamo. Ciudad Alta
Tags: italia pizza bergamo
Bergamo es una ciudad capital de la región de Lombardía que se encuentra a los pies de los Alpes italianos.

Su historia cuenta que la antigua ciudad de Bergomum fue destruida por Atila y que luego italianos y venecianos controlaron su territorio. Estos últimos se dedicaron a fortificar la ciudad con murallas. Es lo que actualmente se conoce como la Città alta: una ciudad medieval de calles empedradas y zonas amuralladas. La parte baja es la ciudad nueva que ha crecido en los extramuros de la muralla.

Para subir a la parte alta de la ciudad se peude utilizar un funicular o teleférico. Son calles muy estrechas y empinadas donde usar el coche no es recomendable. Su plaza, Piazza Vecchia, es una de las más bonitas de Italia y tiene un campanario que a las diez de la noche hace sonar sus campanas 100 veces.

La plaza está rodeada por los edificios históricos más interesantes de la ciudad: la iglesia de Santa María Maggiore, la capilla Colleoni, obra de Amadeo (uno de los máximos exponentes del renacimiento lombardo), el Palacio de la Razón del siglo XII y el baptisterio. Desde esta parte de la ciudad, dicen que antiguamente se podía ver brillar la Madonina del Duomo de Milán (ciudad situada a unos 40 km).

Visitar esta ciudad en invierno es una maravilla pues se pueden contemplar los alpes nevados, también se pueden practicar deportes de nieve en las estaciones de esquí Val Brembana y Val Seriana.

Bérgamo es una de las ciudades con más ambiente. Mezcla de tradición y modernidad, las tardes en la parte alta de la ciudad se llenan de jóvenes a tomar el aperitivo, donde pidiendo la bebida puedes comer todo lo que hay en la barra gratis (similar a las tapas españolas). Esta actividad comienza a las 6 de la tarde y es tìpico en las ciudades del norte de Italia, como en Milán.

Italia. Napoles. Napoli. Mercado
Tags: italia mercado napoli naples napoles nápoles neapel نابولى
De mercado en mercado

Nápoles. Déjate seducir por el encanto del caos

En Nápoles, las compras se hacen sobre todo al aire libre

Hay mercados por todas partes. En Posillipo, viale della Rimembranza, se celebra los jueves por la mañana, de 8 h a 14 h, un interesante y animado mercado donde se encuentra de todo. En Antignano, en el barrio del Vomero, en los alrededores de piazza Antignano, hay zapatos, vestidos, y de todo para el hogar. De 7 a las 13.30 h todos los días laborables. Si buscas calzado a buen precio, tendrás que madrugar el domingo para acudir al mercadillo próximo a cárcel de Poggioreale.

Tradicionalmente, las compras se realizan en via Chiaia, una larga calle del centro en la que encontrarás de todo, desde ropa de segunda mano a boutiques de moda.

Fuera de la ciudad, en Resina (Herculano) podrás conseguir los artículos más auténticamente retro, ya sean telas, pieles, vestidos...

Para comprar libros, pásate por Dante e Descartes (via Mezzocannone, 75), la mejor librería napolitana. Fiore (via Speranzella, 115) es una pastelería típicamente napolitana, y Talarico (Vico Due Porte a Toledo, 4/B), el más famoso vendedor de paraguas de toda Italia.

Arte, fotografía y vanguardia

Si quieres echar un vistazo al panorama artístico actual de Nápoles, te damos algunas pistas: Lia Rumma se divide entre la casa-estudio, en el 12 de Via Vannella Gaetani, el espacio de Milano y el gran pabellón, antiguo depósito de tabaco situado al este de la ciudad, en Gianturco, donde expone obras de Anselm Kiefer, De Dominicis, Gilbert & George, Marina Abramovich, entre otros. Palazzo Partanna (Piazza dei Martiri, 58) está Alfonso Artiaco que también trabaja en Pozzuoli. Desde hace años expone obras de artistas de fama internacional además de propuestas innovadoras como Giovanni Anselmo o Perino y Vele, por citar tan sólo a dos purasangres de su cuadra.

Dina Carola (Via Orazio, 26), en colaboración con su hija Francesca, dirige una de las galerías más consolidadas y de solera: fue la primera en traer a Nápoles a artistas como Fontana. Studio Trisorio (Riviera di Chiaia, 215). Las hijas prosiguen la actividad de Pasquale, fundador de la galería que, además de arte, reserva un espacio a la fotografía. Changing Role (Via Chiatamone, 34. 081 19 57 59 58) es dinámica y provocadora.

Muévete y te sorprenderás

¿Quieres probar un helado inolvidable? Entra en el Chalet di Ciro (Via Caracciolle), en el muelle de Mergellina, muy cerca de donde parten las cómodas embarcaciones que realizan excursiones a las islas o a la costa que rodea la ciudad, incluidas las salidas nocturnas con música y cena a bordo.

También es posible alquilar veleros, con o sin patrón, para visitar las islas Capri, Ischia y Prócida. Para moverte en las dos primeras islas hay dos nuevos billetes que permiten visitarlas sin limitaciones UnicoCapri y UnicoIschia.

Paséate por la bonita localidad de Sorrento y la Costiera. Para ello, coge el tren de la Circumvesuviana, desde piazza Garibaldi o Corso Garibaldi. El billete cuesta 2,01 €.

Este es el mismo tren que tendrás que coger si lo que quieres es visitar las ruinas de Pompeya o las de Herculano (parada Pompei Scavi-Villa dei Misteri, o Ercolano, respectivamente). Billete: 2,01 €. Desde la parada de tren de Ercolano salen los autobuses que llevan al cráter del Vesubio.

Terrazas, copas y un baño

Con la llegada de la primavera, Arenile, en la playa de Coroglio, es la cita obligada para disfrutar del baile. Es un acogedor balneario durante el día, que por la noche se transforma en discoteca con terraza orientada al mar. En la misma zona, en la cuenca de Agnano –donde también se halla el hipódromo– el que fue uno de los primeros multicines de Nápoles, el Duel, es hoy una inmensa discoteca donde con frecuencia se celebran conciertos. Y para el primer chapuzón de la temporada nada mejor que los baños Elena e Ideal: están al comienzo de la via de Posillipo, antes del histórico Palazzo Donn’Anna, construido sobre el agua, le aguardan cómodas tumbonas y amables anfitriones, además de la posibilidad de almorzar.

Para tomar una cerveza y comer algo ligeros, pásate por la terraza de Aret'a Palma (piazza S. Maria la Nova). Y para tomar un café, Gambrinus (via Chiaia, 1) es histórico. Era un conocido café-concierto de la belle époque, y ha conservado su decoración de estilo liberty con estuco, seda y papel.

Italia. Florencia. Turistas
Tags: italia florencia firenze toscana
Florencia (Firenze en italiano) es una ciudad situada al norte de la región central de Italia, capital y ciudad más poblada de la provincia homónima y de la región de Toscana, de la que es su centro histórico, artístico, económico y administrativo.
La catedral (en italiano duomo, proviene del latín "Domus Dei", ósea "Casa de Dios") consagrada a Santa María del Fiore se encuentra en pleno casco antiguo de la ciudad. Data del siglo XIV, en pleno Renacimiento temprano. Es famosa por su gran cúpula, que tiene 45 m de diámetro y 100 de altura. Fue diseñada por Brunelleschi, uno de los más grandes arquitectos renacentistas. En el interior contiene unos frescos de Giorgio Vasari que representan el juicio final. El edificio, de unas dimensiones gigantescas, es de cruz latina, con una nave principal y dos laterales. El suelo está recubierto de mármol de colores que forma un laberinto de formas y texturas. Excepto la cúpula y los tejados de cerámicas naranjas, las paredes del templo están recubiertas de mármol toscano blanco, verde y rosa, formando dibujos nerviosos y mágicos. Este recubrimiento data del Renacimiento, excepto el de la fachada, que es del siglo XIX.
Una característica que tienen muchos templos italianos es que el campanario no está unido a la iglesia, sino separado, a pocos metros de la misma. Fue diseñado por Giotto y está completamente recubierto por mármol toscano de colores vivos.
Justo delante de la catedral se encuentra el suntuoso baptisterio, lugar donde se bautizan los bebés. El gran atractivo del baptisterio es la puerta Este, con paneles donde Ghiberti talló unos bajorrelieves en la madera y más tarde recubrió con papel de oro. Movido por su gran ego, talló su propia imagen en la puerta.

Italia. Venecia
Tags: italia venecia venezia
Venecia (en italiano Venezia, en veneciano Venessia o Venesia 1 , en veneciano antiguo Venexia), la ciudad de los canales, es la capital de la región de Véneto. Está situada sobre un conjunto de islas que se extiende en una laguna homónima pantanosa en el mar Adriático, entre las desembocaduras de los ríos Po (sur), y Piave (norte), en el nordeste de Italia.
Venecia está compuesta por 120 pequeñas islas unidas entre sí por 455 puentes, si incluimos las islas de Murano y Burano.2 En sí, la ciudad la forman 118 islas unidas por 354 puentes y dividida por 177 ríos y canales. 3 Se llega a Venecia desde tierra firme por el Puente de la Libertad, que accede al Piazzale Roma.
Desde su fundación, la ciudad ha sufrido los efectos de inundaciones periódicas. En la actualidad la ciudad afronta una grave amenaza por las repetidas inundaciones. En primavera y otoño tiene lugar la llamada acqua alta (marea alta), dos veces al día, que inunda completamente la Plaza de San Marcos. El gobierno italiano prepara un proyecto, denominado Moisés, para levantar unos diques móviles que se cerrarían en caso de aumento del nivel del agua del mar.

Italia.Venecia. La Basílica de San Marcos
Tags: italia basilica catedral sanmarcos venecia
La Basílica de San Marcos es el principal templo católico de la ciudad de Venecia (Italia) y la obra maestra de la influencia bizantina en el Véneto. Se encuentra justo en el lado opuesto a la Fabbrica Nuova. Su construcción fue iniciada en 828 para guardar el cuerpo de San Marcos, traído desde Alejandría. Concebida como una prolongación del palacio ducal, al principio era de cruz griega, cúpula sobre crucero y brazos (5 cúpulas). Fue quemada en un motín en el 975 y reconstruida en el siglo XI por arquitectos y obreros de Constantinopla. Las obras se iniciaron probablemente en 1063, y el nuevo templo fue consagrado diez años después. En el s XIII se le añade un nártex cubierto con cúpulas más pequeñas que envuelve el brazo inferior de la cruz. Fue modificada también en los siglos XV y XVII.

Italia. Venecia. Gran canal
Tags: italia gondola venecia rialto grancanal
La ciudad de Venecia en Italia constituye la mayor zona húmeda de este país. Está regada toda ella por múltiples canales de distinta longitud y distinta anchura. El mayor de todos es el Gran Canal, que recorre Venecia trazando una S. Le sigue en tamaño e importancia el canal Regio o Cannaregio.
El Gran Canal tiene casi 4 km de longitud; se desliza desde la punta noroeste de Venecia, donde están los accesos a tierra firme, hasta la dársena de San Marcos, en el mar Adriático. El canal divide la ciudad en dos partes. Se dice que es más patricia la orilla donde se encuentra la plaza de San Marcos y más popular la orilla contraria.
A pesar de tener esa gran longitud y de dividir completamente la urbe, el canal sólo cuenta con cuatro puentes:
Puente de Rialto, el más antiguo.
Puente de la Academia, entre San Vidal y la Carità.
Puente de los Descalzos, junto a la estación del ferrocarril, o estación de Santa Lucía.
Puente de la Constitución, el más moderno; comunica el Piazzale Roma con la estación de Santa Lucía.
Un vaporetto transporta a los pasajeros desde la estación de Santa Lucía hasta la dársena de San Marcos y en ese viaje fluvial donde alterna las paradas de una orilla a otra, pueden ir contemplando bastantes edificios nobles de Venecia.
Iglesia de los Scalzi, del siglo XVII, con dos capillas que guardan unos frescos del pintor veneciano Tiepolo (1696-1770), considerado como el principal maestro de la escuela veneciana.
Palacio Vendramin-Calergi, que es la sede de invierno del casino. Fue la última residencia del músico alemán Richard Wagner (1813-1883), donde murió.
Ca’ Pesaro, la antigua residencia de la familia Pesaro, edificio del siglo XVIII. En la actualidad es el museo de Arte Moderno.
Ca’ d’Oro, llamado así por los dorados que le adornaban en su origen. Es un palacio gótico cuyo origen se remonta al siglo XV, el más famoso de la ciudad. En la actualidad es la sede de la Galería Franchetti, con una colección muy importante de pintura.
Palacio Grassi, del siglo XVIII. Es la sede de la fundación Grassi que fue instituida por el Grupo Fiat. En ella se celebran importantes manifestaciones artísticas cada año.
Academia. Fue la escuela y monasterio de la Carità. Su nombre le viene de la Academia de Bellas Artes instalada aquí por Napoleón en 1807. Cuenta con pintura veneciana desde el siglo XIV.
Ca’ Foscari, del siglo XV, obra maestra del gótico veneciano.
Palacio Corner della Ca’ Granda, una construcción de 1532, de Sansovino (c. 1486-1570), arquitecto y escultor italiano, considerado como el introductor del Renacimiento. En 1527 se estableció en Venecia. Este palacio está al final del recorrido, cerca de la dársena donde desemboca el canal.
Palacio Delfin Manin, construido por el mismo Sansovino para el noble Juan Delfín. En este gran palacio vivió el último de los Dogos de Venecia, Ludovico Manin.

Italia / Italy
Tags: italy bandeira europa europe italia flag italianflag flagofitaly bandeiradeitalia
Is a country located partly on the European Continent and partly on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe and on the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. Italy shares its northern, Alpine boundary with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within the Italian Peninsula, and Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The territory of Italy covers 301,338 km² and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 60.2 million inhabitants, it is the sixth most populous country in Europe, and the twenty-third most populous in the world.
The land known as Italy today has been the cradle of European cultures and peoples, such as the Etruscans and the Romans. Italy's capital, Rome, was for centuries the political centre of Western civilisation, as the capital of the Roman Empire. After its decline, Italy would endure numerous invasions by foreign peoples, from Germanic tribes such as the Lombards and Ostrogoths, to the Normans and later, the Byzantines, among others. Centuries later, Italy would become the birthplace of the Renaissance, an immensely fruitful intellectual movement that would prove to be integral in shaping the subsequent course of European thought.
Through much of its post-Roman history, Italy was fragmented into numerous kingdoms and city-states (such as the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Duchy of Milan), but was unified in 1861, a tumultuous period in history known as the "Risorgimento". In the late 19th century, through World War I, and to World War II, Italy possessed a colonial empire, which extended its rule to Libya, Eritrea, Italian Somaliland, Ethiopia, Albania, Rhodes, the Dodecanese and a concession in Tianjin, China.
Modern Italy is a democratic republic and the world's eighteenth most developed country, with the eighth or tenth highest quality of life index rating in the world. Italy enjoys a very high standard of living, and has a high nominal GDP per capita. It is a founding member of what is now the European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Italy is also a member of the G8 and G20. It has the world's seventh-largest nominal GDP, tenth highest GDP (PPP) and the fifth highest government budget in the world. It is also a member state of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the World Trade Organization, the Council of Europe, and the Western European Union. Italy, on addition to this, has the world's eight-largest defence budget and shares NATO's nuclear weapons.
Italy, especially Rome, has an important place in political, military and cultural affairs, with worldwide organizations such as Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Food Programme (WFP), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Glocal Forum, and the NATO Defence College being headquartered in the country and the city. The country's European political, social and economic influence make it a major regional power, alongside the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Russia, and Italy has been classified in a study as being the eleventh greatest worldwide national power. The country has a high public education level, high labour force, is a globalised nation, and also has 2009's sixth best international reputation. Italy also has the world's nineteenth highest life expectancy, and the world's second best healthcare system. It is the world's fifth most visited country, with over 43.7 million international arrivals, and boasts a long tradition of excellence in all the arts and sciences, including the fact that Italy has the world's greatest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites to date.

Roma

Meaning country name:
From Latin Italia, the name having entered Latin from a non-Latin source. The etymology of Italia probably directly relates to an ancient Greek word italos (bull), from PIE *wet; the Greek word follows the sound-changes from Proto-Indo-European to Greek, but the Latin equivalent vitulus (young bull) from this root, does not. Speakers of ancient Oscan called Italy Viteliu, also from PIE *wet. Varro wrote that the region got its name from the excellence and abundance of its cattle (italos, "bull" hence italia). Some disagree with this etymology. Compare Italus.
Friagi or Friaz' in Old Russian: from the Byzantine appellation for the medieval Franks.
Valland (variant in Icelandic): land of "valer", (an Old Norse name for Celts, later also used for the Romanized tribes).
Włochy (Polish) and Olaszország (Hungarian): from Gothic walh, the same root as in Valland, see details under "Wallachia" below.

Description Flag:
The flag of Italy (often referred to in Italian as Il Tricolore) is a tricolour featuring three equally sized vertical bands of green, white and red, with the green at the hoist side.
The first entity to use the Italian flag was the Cispadane Republic in 1796, after Napoleon's army crossed Italy. During this time, many small republics based on the Jacobian model, were formed and almost all used the French tricolour with different colours. The colours chosen by the Cispadane Republic were red and white, the colours of the Flag of Milan, and green which was the colour of the uniform of the Lombard Legion .
Some have tried to attribute some particular values to the colours and a common interpretation is that the green represents the country's plains and the hills; white, the snowy Alps; and red, the blood spilt in the Italian Independence wars. A more religious interpretation is that the green represents hope, the white represents faith and the red represents charity. This interpretation references the three theological virtues.

Coat of arms:
The Coat of Arms of the Italian Republic depicted here has been the symbol of the Italian Republic since May 5, 1948. Technically it is a pictorial image rather than a coat of arms, as it was not designed to obey traditional heraldic rules.
The emblem comprises a white five-pointed star, with a red border, superimposed on a five-spoked cogwheel which stands between an olive on its left and a branch of oak on its right; the branches in turn are bound by a red ribbon bearing the legend "REPUBBLICA ITALIANA" (Italian Republic in Italian).
The star is an ancient symbol for the personification of Italy (Italia Turrita), usually shining on her head, and was a symbol of the Kingdom of Italy from 1890; The steel cogwheel refers to the first article of the Constitution of Italy, which says that "Italy is a democratic Republic based on work"; its shape recalls also a mural crown, another symbol used for the personification of Italy;
The olive branch stands for the Republic’s desire for peace, internal and international, and refers to Article 11 of the Constitution ("Italy rejects war [...]");
The oak branch stands for the strength and dignity of the Italian people.
Oak and olive trees are also characteristic of the Italian landscape.

National Anthem: Il Canto degli Italiani

Italian lyrics
Fratelli d'Italia,
l'Italia s'è desta,
dell'elmo di Scipio
s'è cinta la testa.
Dov'è la Vittoria?
Le porga la chioma,
che schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò.
CORO:
Stringiamoci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l'Italia chiamò.
Stringiamoci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l'Italia chiamò!
Noi fummo da secoli
calpesti, derisi,
perché non siam popolo,
perché siam divisi.
Raccolgaci un'unica
bandiera, una speme:
di fonderci insieme
già l'ora suonò.
CORO
Uniamoci, amiamoci,
l'unione e l'amore
rivelano ai popoli
le vie del Signore.
Giuriamo far libero
il suolo natio:
uniti, per Dio,
chi vincer ci può?
CORO
Dall'Alpi a Sicilia
Dovunque è Legnano,
Ogn'uom di Ferruccio
Ha il core, ha la mano,
I bimbi d'Italia
Si chiaman Balilla,
Il suon d'ogni squilla
I Vespri suonò.
CORO
Son giunchi che piegano
Le spade vendute:
Già l'Aquila d'Austria
Le penne ha perdute.
Il sangue d'Italia,
Il sangue Polacco,
Bevé, col cosacco,
Ma il cor le bruciò.
CORO

English

English translation
Brothers of Italy,
Italy has awakened,
with Scipio's helmet
binding her head.
Where is Victory?
Let her bow down,
For God has made her
Rome's slave.
CHORUS:
Let us join in cohort,
We are ready to die!
We are ready to die!
Italy has called!
Let us join in cohort,
We are ready to die!
We are ready to die!
Italy has called!
We were for centuries
Downtrodden and derided,
because we are not one people,
because we are divided.
Let one flag, one hope
gather us all.
The hour has struck
for us to join together!
CHORUS
Let us unite and love one another;
Union and love
Show the people
The way of the Lord
Let us swear to free
Our native soil;
United under God,
Who can defeat us?
CHORUS
From the Alps to Sicily,
Legnano is everywhere;
Every man has the heart
and hand of Ferruccio
The children of Italy
Are all called Balilla;
Every trumpet blast
sounds the Vespers.
CHORUS
Mercenary swords,
they're feeble reeds.
The Austrian eagle
Has already lost its plumes.
The blood of Italy
and the Polish blood
Was drank, along with the Cossack,
But it burned her heart.
CHORUS
