Why do so-called "ancient nations" invent brand new symbols to represent themselves?
Idk, tell me your thoughts on the matter, anon.
>>221352932>flag It's like that because the Italian State is a wholly Northern creation so they felt compelled to use the colours from Northern Republics of the French Revolutionary era (since that was the last time the area was united as one - and maybe more importantly, since the Savoy wanted support from Italian revolutionaries).>symbolThe seal is even more modern and was unironically chosen by communists with no regard for history. Similarly modern Italian regions are often inaccurate to culture and history.
>>221354520Bonus fun Italy fact: this was originally chosen as the seal by the commission, but they thought it wasn't soulless enough and replaced the mural crown with a wheel to represent labor.
>>221352932Because they aren't ancient nations, and that is exactly why they don't adopt these ancient symbols. It's honesty. Imagine if Israel, founded in the 1940's pretended they were the same state as the Kingdom of Israel. That would be hysterical
>>221354678Yeah, haha, that would be crazy retarded...
>>221352932>WhyFreemason scums and their tabula rasa stupidity
Italy could do better with some rome larp
>>221352932I first saw the sigil on the right as the logo for some hoi4 mod an italian kid made in his basement, and thought thats where it came from because who would actually sign off on something like that as an official seal lol
>>221354610This also looks soulless and AI generated
>>221354678The menorah has been continuously used to represent Jews for 2000 years
because of the "modernization" spook.
>>221354957the larp ceased in the 1400s when the Italian humanists realized that Medieval Latin was fake and they weren’t the “Roman Empire” after all
>>221352932>ancient nationsConcept of nation was made up in 19th century
>>221356336Norway, Sweden and Denmark have had almost the same borders for over a thousand years althxghbeit??
>>221352932when I first saw the italian coats of arms I thought it's of some 3rd world shithole. idk why a nation like Italy, with dozens of provinces and historical imagery, chose... a fucking star
>>221356449nation and state are not the same thing
>>221352932Read Benedict Anderson's "Imagined Communities" if you're actually interested on that subject. But the tl;dr is >>221356336 >>221356449Not really, unless your definition of "almost the same" can be stretched to the point of being practically meaningless.
>>221355004Yeah, they're bound to be when you reject historical heraldry because of muh republicanism.
>>221357003of course a Columbian would reject the concept of nations
>>221352932Because the Italian Republic is a very new country. (Founded in 1946)
