National symbols of Italy are the symbols that uniquely identify Italy reflecting its history and culture.[1] They are used to represent the Nation through emblems, metaphors, personifications, allegories, which are shared by the entire Italian people.
Some of them are official, i.e. they are recognized by the Italian state authorities, while others are part of the identity of the country without being defined by law.
