 The first entity to use the Italian tricolour was the Cispadane Republic in 1797, after Napoleon's victorious armed detachment traversed Italy. throughout this time numerous little republics of Jacobin inspiration supplanted the ancient absolute states and almost all, with variants of hue, used banners distinuished by three musicians of identical dimensions, apparently inspired by the French model of 1790.
