🌈 The Peace Flag
There are symbols that need no explanation, and the peace flag is one of them. Seven colors, a horizontal rainbow, and a single word in the center: PEACE. No emblem, no borders, no political affiliation.
September 21st is International Day of Peace!
🕊️ Did you know it was born in Italy?
This flag was created in 1961, during the historic peace march from Perugia to Assisi. The idea of the rainbow was simply powerful: different colors (and thus peoples) so diverse can coexist.
Over the years, this flag has become one of the most recognizable symbols of pacifist movements in Italy and worldwide, unfortunately, still relevant today.
A symbol that reappears when needed
The peace flag has had moments of great visibility, such as in 2003, when hundreds of thousands of Italian families displayed it on their balconies as a sign of protest against the war in Iraq. Today, it is again found in demonstrations and often in private places.
🌍 Colors that tell of harmony
The seven colors of the rainbow represent diversity, hope, and peaceful coexistence; this graphic simplicity makes it immediately recognizable and easily displayed everywhere.
