It has its origin in a standard with those same colors given by Napoleon in November 1796 to a body of volunteers of the Lombard Legion who joined the French army. This flag, as such, was officially adopted as a national symbol to identify this country in the year 1946, after the end of the Second World War, when the current Italian Republic was constituted.
There are many theories that try to explain the meaning of the colors, the most accepted theory is that the colors represent the Italian territory: white, like the snows of the Alps; red, like lava from volcanoes and green, like the fields and plains of Lombardy.
