As we just saw in the video, the Italian flag is a vertical tricolor of green, white, and red. The Mexican flag on first glance is the same except the there is a coat of arms in the center white stripe. However, there are a couple of subtle differences. The Italian flag uses lighter shades of green and red and the Italian flag has an aspect ratio (width:height) of 3:2 while the Mexican flag is 7:4.

@@martinpalacios7236 I’m Italian and just..ESCAPE FROM ITALIAN AS U CAN, no really, our lenguage is too much difficult
I’m Mexican and I’m married to a wonderful Italian!!
I'm French 🇨🇵 both our neighbor's 🇮🇹 and Mexico 🇲🇽. Our flags are actually related
The Mexican tricolor predated the Italian tricolor as a national flag… so technically, the Mexican flag is an older NATIONAL flag, but they didn’t copy each other. Italy also uses a lighter shade of green and the flag is a bit more “square” if that makes sense in terms of ratio…
@NICK LOMBARDI only in the north, but not as a national flag. Plus the Italian tricolor didn’t become the official flag until Italian unification in the 1860s.
@NICK LOMBARDI The italians might have had the colors and flag first, for uses other than the national flag, but it hadn’t become the national flag until the proclamation of the kingdom of Italy, 40 years after the Mexicans.
@NICK LOMBARDI This is 100% true. 🤌🏽 Napoleon had influence in the north and Lombard region adopted its use in the late 1700s. Kingdom of Italy started using it in 1864(?) and Mexican empire started using theirs in 1821/1822.
@Super Mario We’ve already clarified and pointed out that as a national flag, officially recognized, the Mexican tricolor was first… as a national flag.
@Super Mario We can bring the French into this… if you’d like.
Without Mexico the world would have no Italian pizza. Imagine that! The tomatoes came from Mexico!
Mexico gave alot more than just tomatoes so much more that you have to dig so deep into history just to find Mexicans contributions to the world and this goes for all real Americans(not the ones who CLAIMS America by living here or being born here but really from another part of the world)like a lot of people have something to say about Mexico and they freed them slavery and protected them under their government(far from public information for some reason)

Chocolate,peanut,rubber corn ect...
I’m Mexican and Italian descent 🇲🇽 🇺🇸 🇮🇹

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH!!!!
Eww why the usa flag 🤮
Mexico loves you too as a Friend. Hispanics and Italians look alot alike like they are all related to the same Latin Ancestor.
Hispanics DO NOT look like Italians lol. Hispanics are too diverse looking
@@chosenone3527 exactly italians look more Arabic and they have black blood pumping in their viens
Mexican don't look like Italians or Mediterraneans we have different ancestors
@@ricardop9196 Only the Sicilians/South Italians look like that, North Italians and Spaniards in general are more"white-ish"
@@eduardoespinosa3912 is that why both hate each other
tomatoes come from México 🇲🇽🍅
Yes they do I'm from Mexico we Deport them everyday
And pasta was created by Chinese
Mexico introduced the tomato to the world.. some might say tomato base Italian dishes are Mexican.
Yea the word in nahuatl is tomatl meaning swollen fruit. The biggest surprise is that tomatoes are fruit
The word tomato is of nahuatl origin
No, né il Messico né l'Italia si sono copiati a vicenda se si osservano i verdi su entrambe le bandiere; sono diversi; Il Messico è un tono più scuro e l'Italia è un tono più chiaro e, naturalmente, l'aquila. ---- 👋🏼 da Guanajuato, Messico.
🇲🇽 🫱🏼🫲🏼 🇮🇹
I love both Italians and Mexicans, because they both have almost the same names, like Antonio, Mario
, Giovanni, Lorenzo, Leonardo, and Marco.
I am MEXICAN American but my grandmother and great grandmother were French and Italian heritage.
In summary yes they have the same color but there not copying each other. What separates the Mexican flag is the eagle in the cactus and snake. The reason that’s there is b/c the Aztecs said that where ever they see a eagle on top of a cactus eating a snake is we’re their city should be build. And that’s when Technochitlan was made and is now know know as Mexico D.F.
Ps. This is the best flag in all the Americas as how it shows respect to its natives.
Viva Mexico 🇲🇽❤️
Love from Texas🤘🏼
It predates the Italian tricolor as a national flag.
No es un cactus es un nopal y si te fijas bien los colores tienen diferente tonos
@@rdx_5547 Exactamente. Es mejor comer nopal también.. 😂😂😂 pero la enseña nacional es más vieja que la bandera nacional italiana.
Il Messico ama l'Italia
What's now the Mexican tricolor is technically older than the Italian tricolore - although Italian kingdoms had used red-white-green color schemes in their flags since the late 18th century, modern-day Italy really didn't form until the Kingdom of Italy in the 1860s.
Same for us French 🇫🇷 a tricolor as well.
The Italian flag was created by Napoleon Bonaparte
Red and green chile of course. I do like the Mexican flag. It is iconic.
😒
Me gusta Mexico y quiero aprender otros idiomas
Edit: no es mexicano, es espanol!

Very interesting video. I had heard that the meaning of the colors in the flag of Italy was related to its geography: green stands for countryside; white for the snow-capped Alps; and red for the lava from its volcanoes. What do you italians think of this? Greetings from Mexico!
Red tomato white mozzarella green prezzemolo
@@uvuvwevwevweonyetenyevweug8574 😂
Red it's for the blood that was spilled by those who fought for Italy
I love Italian language and spanish-language how similar they are
hahahaha i love this ! keep it up you have inspired me to create more! you have a new favorite subscriber right here !
Idk if people are blind but when I’m in school my computer background is the Italian flag and everyone thinks it’s the Mexico flag and
Vieni dall'Italia
William Thomas it's funny you mention this because one time a thread on a Italian culture page I was a part of was started by this racist white woman ( yes Italians are white but I mean northern European white) that started to disrespect both Italians and Mexicans ( Hispanics) . She started saying racial or ethnic stereotypes of Italian and Mexican men , that they love hitting on waiters and basically being horn dogs .She also mentioned that Italy = Mexico because both Italy and Mexico have the same colors for their flags, I put her in her place saying Mexico's flag has a eagle 🦅 on it. Then I said despite having the same colors , both countries flags are of no relation to each other, however México does have Italian influence by way of Spain usually and there are even pockets of Italians in Mexico.The bi*** didn't say anything back lol 😆, damn are some people in the u.s ignorant about Geography,history and genes .I actually think it's possible she was trolling but she sounded stupid.
Mexico and Italy flags have no connection or anything in common just a coincidence they look similar so no copied anyone but Mexicos flag came first and that is facts 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Italy 🇮🇹. The green is the salads and the broccoli and the garlic breads, the white is the pastas and the Parmesan cheese, the red is the tomatoes and the pasta sauce.
Respect to Italians I always see them as our race cousins. I like how torta for them is cake while it's a sandwich for us.
I am a Mexican that lives in Italy. The Mexican flag was in fact created first than the unified italian flag, our flag was created around 1821 during the first Mexican empire, while Italy was unified around 1970’s
i m mexican from cali
I'm Mexican i love Italians and Italy
It's just heartbreaking how italian Americans were racist towards us latinos for years like what?
Yeah most of them are , cause REAL Italians are usually very friendly
No man only a few ignorant ones. Italians have no beef with Hispanics.
Quello non è vero
i have no beef with em tbh n Italians are Latinos too
I love Italian culture but never understood the hate we get from them too , however not all of them are like that , also some Hispanics also hate Italians to a lower extent, calling them crackers , etc even though many Hispanics have Spanish white blood lol.
What about Hungary?
At one point all land in the world was connected like puzzle peices, Mexico fits right into italy and Sicily. Language sounds similar. And quesadilla is actually the reinvented version of a pizza. They are distant relatives. All of us are.
Where my Italians at? 🇲🇽
Mexican flag:
Red: Tomate
White: Cebolla
Geeen: Chile Verde.
mexico 🇲🇽🤝 italy 🇮🇹
1:22 it’s Spanish not “Mexican” lol
Mexico has more spanish speakers than Spain so
0:59 your Spanish is on point 😮💨😮💨🫠
Italy flag color meanings green=alps white= snow on alps red= blood in the war
To set this straight once and for all: Mexico began using the tricolor as a National flag in 1821, while the Cisalpine Republic (present day Italy) since 1798. The same "tricolore" was then adopted for the Italian United Provinces in 1831 and of course since 1861 after the unification of Italy. In terms of national flag, Mexico used it first, but the concept of a tricolor flag with green, white and red in a vertical orientation had been a thing on pre-unification territories of Italy since the late 1700s. I think we can call it even lol. Plus, the Italian and Mexican flags differ in aspect ratio (7:4 vs 3:2) the tint / hue of the green and the Mexican flag features the coat of arms placed in the middle white stripe.
I like them both :) 🇮🇹🇲🇽
Aren't the colors attributed to the Mexican army colors? What is Italy 's explanation for the use of the colors? Can you explain the Irish flag and tomatoes too lol
@@thegreatestamore Red and white were part of the coat of arms of Milan, while green was used for the civic guard of Milan since 1782.
Ok, if you say so. I'm Irish, Italian and Mexican so I'm just wondering who copied who's flag etc this has gotten out of control with the tomato thing too like just admit it and move on...
@@thegreatestamore you're all three? Cool. What tomato thing? Ahah
p.s I love Italian culture.There are similarities because of Spanish influence and even some Spanish speaking countries like Argentina and Chile have Italian descendants , even in Mexico there are Italians , why isn't this being talked about?
Did Italy copy Mexico's flag?? Which flag came 1st?
Italian food and Mexican food are both the best of the world 😋
Italy copied mexico flag point blank so now ppl are confused 😂😂😂
Italian Headway, would you like to be my girlfriend?
You need more studies
Mexico, Italy.
Same thing.😅😅
Just kidding!😅😅
I like the way she says “Maxican” 🤣
Well Italians and spaniards did show up in Mexico unexpectedly. Im sure they influenced us. The good and the bad.
Actually, 🇲🇽 and Rome have much in common. My bloodline is of both Moctezuma (not the monarchy of Spain) Mexica, Chichimeca, indigenous America, and gens Fabia, Fabii, tribus Fabia. We go way back, before Rome. We are Roman. We (the Fabii) helped establish Italy. You’re welcome.
Just to say how in the world would Mexico copy Italy’s flag when we never now about Italy back then
Italia ni fue un país asta los años mil ocho cientos .
I never thought there were people interested in Mexico ❤️❤️
Well now you know, there are many who are interested in 🇲🇽 Mexico.😊
Flag of the Cispadane Republic, which was the first Italian tricolor adopted by a sovereign Italian state (1797)...Way before Mexico, But I do love the Mexican people.
It wasn’t “Italy” though, it didn’t unify until 40-50 years after Mexico was created after the independence of the Mexican Empire
Hola italianas y italianos viewers.
I lol when you said Wright me something in Mexican 😂
What about the aztec and there tie in to the color and there system of tributary vassals law
What does that have to do with the colors and myth
I’m Mexican🇲🇽 maybe Italy copied the Mexican Flag😂, just kidding. I think the reason they look the same is because of the Catholic Church, cultural similarities, etc. Speaking of the Mexican and Italian Flags being similar, the Irish Flag is also very similar, because I was looking at the history of the Irish Flag and the French actually made the Irish flag as a gift to Ireland and like this video mentions, the idea of the Italian flag came from Napoleon, when Mexico was fighting against Spain, Napoleon invaded Spain, and I think Mexico also got that same idea. So I guess our flags and the Irish Flag are like an inspiration from the French and Napoleon, instead of blue, it’s green. Viva 🇮🇹🇲🇽🇮🇪🇫🇷
Correct me if I'm wrong. Italians from the north are generally blonde hair & southern Italians have black hair.
Ur wrong it’s pretty sparse..maybe a couple hundred years ago but now there’s immigrants everywhere
I’m italian

Mexico is a far older nation than Italy was. Italy is a very young country that didn't fully unify till very recently
Unified or not North Italy used way before the tricolor flag before mexico

I wonder if italians speak Spanish like Mexicans 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Viva Mexico!
Why mexico and spain has litteraly the same flag?
Hablar español y no mexicano!!
I noticed that when ever I watch a video concerning Italians there are tons of Mexicans in the comment section! They seem to be very interested in Italians!
Well that's that cleared up. Thanks
I'm wanting an Italian wife, I'm Mexican 🇲🇽 🇮🇹
The similarities of Italy and Mexico flag are inevitably confused.
If u search up “difference of Mexico and Italy flag”, u can see it says that the Mexico flag was created before the Italy flag was created. So this video is kinda wrong
Me gustaría visitar Italia… ojalá México e Italia tuviéramos más comercio e intercambio cultural
"write me something in mexican" surely you are joking and you just mean write to me in Spanish. Jeez.
Are Italians the true Latinos?
The Latin language comes from Italy. Mexico was colonized by Spain. Spain speak Spanish. How is Mexicans Latino?
Italy is broken down to many ethnic groups, Latins are one of them and most Italians have nothing to do with them. In the Northern there are not of Latin origin but of roots such as Lombardian, Venetian, Ligures, Etruscan etc, the Latins were a small tiny tribe in the center western part of Italy. So technically no, most as in 90% of Italians wouldn't be Latins either. Different languages, culture, genetics etc

There is no Mexican language nor writing is only Spanish from Spain 🇪🇦
I'm both Italian and Mexican...
Yes is the short answer
Pasta is of Chinese origin so clearly the Italians ripped off the Chinese.
I heard the italians tried to make noodles, but ended up making spaghetti.
Linda chica Italiana.
We didn’t mean to 🥺
I’m not Italian or Mexican but I think Italy copied the Mexican flag
Mexico has a huge Italian descent.
Not quite as much as Argentina.

Italia copió la bandera de México
The tricolor was born in in 1789
@@filippo3797 No era la original
@@filippo3797 It was used by North Italy way before than Mexico, unified or not It doesn't matter, the italian flag was Invented before
@@beccatiquesto64 It was not used by Northern Italy, it was first used by LOMBARDIA, Lombardia is not all of the North. At that time, Lombardia had nothing to do with Italy, it was a separate and own country, it didn't become part of Italy until 1859. They didn't even speak the same language, didn't have the same culture, weren't genetically the same. Lombardy was settled by a small tribe called the Winnili, who were from southern Scandinavia. They were tall, blonde and very Northern European. Not short, brown like Southern and Central Italians. I am ydna I1 for a reason, my paternal side is originally from Lombardia, my I1 is of Scandinavia origin, I have nothing to do with Central and Southern Italy.

Italians move to Mexico long time ago 😆😝 it's the new Italy .. Mexico city area is Italy descendants..everything else is spain and other European countries descendants. the flag has to do with catholic church with rome ..
