This item is an accessory for a toy minifigure, consisting of a national flag mounted on a small black flagpole with a base.
The flag shown is the national flag of Italy, famously known as il Tricolore (the Tricolour).
The design is a tricolor flag with three equal vertical bands. While there are several interpretations of the colors’ meanings, a common one relates to the Italian landscape and history:
- The green band (closest to the pole) represents the country’s plains and the hills.
- The white band (in the center) represents the snow-capped Alps.
- The red band (on the outer edge) represents the blood spilt in the Wars of Italian Independence and Unification.
The flag piece itself is a small, plastic tile. This accessory is perfect for representing an Italian character (such as an Italian soldier from World War II), a scene at an embassy or international event, or for educational displays.
