I can't hide the fact that when Italy is mentioned, supercars come to mind. Italy has been the source of these "super toys for big boys," the plaything of the rich around the world. So, if you see on the road model cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Pagani and still a lot more, the chance of it being made in Italy is a high 90%. Yes, this supercars have come to symbolize power, speed, the best in aerodynamics and wealth because each is priced at a low 3 to as much as 15million dollars.
If you are a religious lot, then the Vatican City would come next with the mere mention of Italy, simply because the Vatican City is the seat of Catholicism around the world, or as the official residence of the pope. It is here that people around the globe congregate during very special religious celebrations - the season of lent or perhaps the advent, to name a few.
Then perhaps the
Italy flag would be next in line as the symbol most sought after. The flag is known as La bandiera d'Italia, is also a tricolor, that features three equally sized vertical bands of green, white and red, the same
flag adopted in 1948.
The common interpretation of the colors is that green represents the country's hills and plains; white is for the snowy Alps; and red is for the blood shed by the heroes of the Italian Wars of Independence.
But for the majority a more religious interpretation of the tricolor is made, green represents hope, white represents faith and red is for charity. This interpretation follows reference to the three theological virtues.
