The (light) blue is the color of Savoia. It was used for the Previous President's flag (blue with
the coat-of-arms of the Republic in gold).
Giuseppe Bottasini
That blue colour is the livery colour of the House of Savoy,
and therefore for the Kings of Italy 1861-1946.

I just finished watching the second semi-final in european cup
of football, where Italy won on the penalty series (lucky
"azzurri"). The reason of this, is to show a flag I
found interesting among the Italian crowd. Itīs the national
flag of Italy with 3 blue stars for the 3 world cups they hold.

Today at the swimming pool I saw an Italian silver medalist
holding a tricolore but with some kind of emblam on the white
stripe. I try to take a look over and over but unfortunally the
TV was consantrated on the winner so I couldn't see the emblam in
its whole.
From what I could see it was a circle made of two branches of
something (laurel ?) and inside the circle a unclear device and
the letters R and C. The emblam was all blue.
My guess that it is some Italian sport emblam (swimming
federation ?).

Massimiliano Rosolino silver medalist as lucky charm.
