Victoria is correct... The blue color comes from blue field on the Italian royal crest. But here's the real low-down:
As regards Italian flag history, 1848 is a very important year, since many states in Italy changed their flags to reflect the commitment of all Italians to their motherland independence.
The Italian tricolor was adopted as war flag of Kingdom of Sardinia army: it contained Savoy royal house's coat of arms in the white stripe. In his Proclamation to Lombard-Venetian people, Charles Albert of Savoy said that … in order to show more clearly with exterior signs the commitment to Italian unification, We [Charles Albert] want that our troops … have the Savoy shield superimposed on the Italian tricolor flag. Since the Savoy coat of arms had a white cross that mixed with the white stripe of the Italian tricolor, a border was added to the shield, blue as the color of the dynasty.

The italian tricolour is pretty new (less than 100 years old I think) So maybe it was the original flag colour, pre-dating the "new" flag

"Forza Azzuri" doesn't mean "blue force"..it just means "Come on the blues". The team are known simply as the "Azzuri".
