Geocache Description:


General:

The cache type is a traditional micro cache. This cache is placed near Ristorante Villa d’Oro. The word d’Oro is the Italian word for Gold. During the early mining history of this town quite a number of Italians came to Nigel in search of gold and to work on the mines. Please keep an eye open for the Italian flag.

 

The Italian flag or 'tricolore italiano', was born in Reggio Emilia on January 7, 1797, by decree of the Cispadane Republic's Parliament on a proposal by Giuseppe Compagnoni.

The colours chosen by the Cispadane Republic were red and white, the colours of the Flag of Milan, and green which was the colour of the uniform of the Lombard Legion.

Some have tried to attribute some particular values to the colours and a common interpretation is that the green represents the country's plains and the hills; white, the snowy Alps; and red, the blood spilt in the Italian Independence wars. A more religious interpretation is that the green represents hope, the white represents faith and the red represents charity, the "three theological virtues".

The flag features three equally sized vertical bands of green, white and red, with the green at the hoist side
