Stellone
Since the Risorgimento the star, as a symbol of an illustrious future, has been used to personify Italy (a woman with a star on her forehead or her crown). It was part of the coat of arms of the unified kingdom of Italy and then became the emblem of the Italian republic. The big star, the stellone d'Italia (or Italic star) is quickly understood as a metaphor of good luck that helps the country in its most difficult times in history. It is mainly used today to be ironic or challenging, to criticize the ingrained habit some Italians have (a sign of energy but also of superficiality and fatalism), of often putting their faith in good luck in preference to effort and hard work in order to get through moments of crisis for the nation.
