Sansepolcro is the city of colours, of the crossbowmen's precious silk velvet costumes and of the flag-wavers, ispired by Piero della Francesca works.
 
On the second Sunday of September, Piazza Torre di Berta holds the historical competition of the “ Palio”. In the morning, as an ancient custom suggests, the Herald reads the challenge proclamation against the rivals; in the afternoon, after the crossbows blessing, the crossbowmen come into the square after the Flag-waving demonstrations. For both these displays, medieval costumes are worn, inspired by the paintings of Piero della Francesca.
