Does any one know why the Italian and Mexican flag are a little similar? Is it something to do with historical significance or just coincidental that both flags look similar (accept for the eagle, snake and cactus in the middle of the Mexican flag)?

The colors on the Mexican flag represent the following:
White - peace and honesty
Red - hardiness, bravery, strength & valour
Green - hope, joy and love and in many cultures have a sacred significance.
The History Of The Italian Flag
The Italian tricolor was first established during the Napoleonic Wars by French republics in northern Italy , who styled it after the French tricolor. In 1848 the design was adopted by the house of Savoy, which went on to lead the Italian unification. The present flag was adopted in 1946, when Italy became a republic and the royal arms were removed.
I don't know of any authoritative and indisputable explanation regarding the meaning of the colors of the Italian flag . The most credible theory suggests that the colors came from the colors of the uniforms of the Civic militia of Milan which were predominantly green with some white. Some red parts were added in 1796 when the Militia became the National Guard.
