As you probably know, Italy’s flag has red, white, and green colors. So then why is it that besides some vague poetic interpretations of what each color means (I’ll get to that in a second), there’s not much of an explanation for the colors? 

Sure, you can find a lot of sites that give those “poetic interpretations” of the colors: Well the color red stands for the “The Blood Under the Skin of Italy”…no wait, that's Castilian Spain.
