The Italian flag is green-white-red because it was inspired to the the french flag, where the blue color replaces the green. Green was used to replace blue, because according to some sources, green was the color of the National Guard of Milan. Similarly, the flags of many south-American countries are like the french flag, but with yellow replacing the white.
The french flag is blue-white-red because a white flag with golden fleur-de-lys was the falg of the monarchy, prior to and during the Revolution, the blue and red were put on the flag because they were the colours of Paris, later on the fleur-the-lys were removed.
Today, the Italian Constitution states that the Italian flag is rectangular, with three vertical sectors of equal width, coloured green, white and red, with green being the closest to the pole and red the farthermost.
