Stella d’Italia
The Stella d’Italia or Stellone d'Italia (Italian: "Star of Italy" or "Great Star of Italy") is the most ancient identity symbol of the Italian land. In modern times it has been associated with the Italia turrita (''Towered Italy''), the ancient allegorical representation of Italy.
== Origins ==
The mythology of the ''Stella d’Italia'' goes back to the 6th century BC, when the Siceliot poet Stesichorus, in his poem ''Iliupersis'' (''The Fall of Troy'') creates the legend of Aeneas: escaping from Troy, seized and fired by the Greeks, he goes back to Italy, the land of his ancestors. The tale of Aeneas’ travels by the sea, guided by the maternal ''Stella Veneris'' toward the Italian coasts, was later re-used by Varro and Vergil, who give birth to the political tradition of ''Caesaris Astrum'' (''the star of Caesar'') and to the geographical tradition of Italy as ''Esperia'', from the ancient name Greeks gave to it. Both traditions are related to the evening star that identifies Italy as "the land of sunset" but also to the star of Venus, the goddess of love as universal force, which identifies Italy as land of Eros too, sung as such by poets.
