Happy St. Patrick's Day and Happy Anniversary of the Unification of Italy! Although the Irish and Italian flags have fewer roots in their diasporas than the Lithuanian flag, they're both associated with revolutionary movements and emancipation in their respective countries. Both are modeled after the French Revolutionary tricolor!
