I'VE OFTEN BEEN WONDERING WHY THE ITALIAN FLAG IS SO SIMILAR TO THE FRENCH ONE, BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT THAT DOING RESEARCH FOR A BD CAVE WOULD GIVE ME THE ANSWER ONE DAY...! :D  
  
THE ITALIAN FLAG ORIGINATES AT THE TIME OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AND WAS HIGHLY INSPIRED BY IT. THAT'S WHY THE FLAGS ARE VERY SIMILAR.  
  
MEANING OF THE COLORS:  
  
GREEN:  
| THE GREEN GOES BACK TO THE COLOR OF THE MILAN MILITIA AT THAT TIME.  
| ALSO, GREEN WAS THE FAVORITE COLOR OF THE DEMONSTRATORS IN PARIS, SYMBOLIZED BY A GREEN LEAF. THAT WAS ONLY TWO DAYS BEFORE THE FRENCH REVOLUTION STARTED WITH THE STORMING OF THE BASTILLE!  
| STILL TODAY, THE GREEN OF THE ITALIAN FLAG IS ASSOCIATED WITH NATURE, AND METAPHORICALLY, ALSO WITH THE "NATURAL" RIGHTS OF FREEDOM AND EQUALITY FOR EVERYBODY.  
  
WHITE AND RED:  
| TRADITIONAL COLORS OF MILAN  
  
ALSO, AS MENTIONED BEFORE, THE FLAG AS A WHOLE WAS INSPIRED BY THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, THUS IT HAS BASICALLY THE SAME ORIGIN AS THE BLUE-WHITE-RED FRENCH FLAG.

INTERESTINGLY, YOUR DEMOS SHOW THAT THE Α AND Ξ COULD BE PLACED ONE OR EVEN TWO ROWS LOWER. MY SOLUTION DURING MY TESTS WAS FAR LESS EFFICIENT :D
