hatched on the limits, destroyed on the thrones
planting three of our ordinary color
green, hope-fed so many years;
red, the joy of having accomplished;
white, the faith of fraternal love '.
( G. Berchet, hatred "To arms! To Arms")
used to seeing our flag, now we look with indifference, without mentioning which was bathed in blood and inspired so much enthusiasm. With that beats, these three lines of green, red and white were murmured softly, when it seemed a dream to see the flag tricolor! . (Francesco De Sanctis ).
