The Tricolour Flag Museum (Italian: Museo del Tricolore) is located in Reggio nell'Emilia, the city that saw the birth of the Italian flag in 1797, inside the town hall of the city, adjacent to the Sala del Tricolore, whose collection is made up of relics related to the Italian flag.
[1] The museum reconstructs the history of the Italian flag, which was adopted in Reggio Emilia for the first time, right in the nearby Sala del Tricolore.
In fact, previously, the tricolour was used as a war flag and as a civic symbol of local authorities.
It was inspired by the French flag, which at the time was a symbol of freedom against the states of the ancien régime.
The dating of the relics preserved goes back to 1897, the year of the first centenary of the Italian flag.
