What does the American flag stand for. The 50 stars represent the 50 states, the 13 stripes represent the 13 original colonies. The US flag is also known as Old Glory. Betsy Ross made the first flag, and for reference, in the Pantone system the colors are: Blue PMS 281 and Red PMS 193.
Three years later the naturalist Richard Kirman introduced the Dolomite as a new mineral; the name from there became used to name the dolostone rocks and finally gave the Dolomites - referred in the past simply as the Pale Mountains - their actual name.
They are also a place of myth and of the spirit â see the dedicated page to the mythology of the Dolomites. The shape of these magical mountains will remind you of animals and other fantastic creatures â and sometimes this is reflected in their name (as for example in Monte Civetta â literally meaning 'the Owl').
