This beautiful photo was taken of the fly over before the Italian Formula 1 Race, where IL VOLO sang the Italian National Anthem at the start of the race. This got me wondering what the colors of their flag actually stand for. I found there are several interpretations of this.
COLOR SYMBOLISM:
GREEN stands for Prosperity
WHITE represents Peace
RED symbolizes Sacrifice
PHYSICAL SYMBOLISM:
GREEN stands for the beautiful meadows and hills of Italy
WHITE represents the snowy Alps
RED symbolizes the fertile soil of Italy
SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM:
GREEN stands for Hope
WHITE represents Faith
RED symbolizes Charity

Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca stood there with a hand over their heart (just as we do) as they sang their anthem. It was an honor for them and a beautiful tribute to their beloved Italy!
