The
first Italian national flag was adopted on Feb. 25, 1797, by the
Cispadane Republic. Its stripes were vertically positioned on
May 11, 1798, and thereafter it was honored by all Italian
nationalists. The design was guaranteed by a decree (March 23,
1848) of King Charles Albert of Sardinia, ordering troops to
carry the flag into battle. |
