The "Allegory of the towns of Sansepolcro and Anghiari" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Giorgio Vasari, located on the ceiling of the Salone dei Cinquecento in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. Painted in 1565, this work is part of a larger decorative program commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici, Duke of Florence, to celebrate the power and achievements of the Medici dynasty. The Salone dei Cinquecento, or "Hall of the Five Hundred," is the most grandiose chamber in the Palazzo Vecchio and was designed to serve as a council hall for the Florentine Republic.

Vasari's allegorical fresco represents the towns of Sansepolcro and Anghiari, both of which hold historical significance for the region and the Medici family. The town of Anghiari is renowned for the Battle of Anghiari in 1440, where Florentine and allied forces defeated the Milanese army, a victory that was previously immortalized by Leonardo da Vinci in a now-lost mural. Sansepolcro, on the other hand, is the birthplace of Piero della Francesca, a celebrated painter of the early Renaissance whose works were highly influential.

In the fresco, Vasari employs a complex iconography to convey the virtues and historical narratives associated with these towns. The allegorical figures and motifs are designed to reflect the themes of governance, wisdom, and military prowess that were central to the Medici's self-image. The inclusion of these towns in the decorative scheme of the Salone dei Cinquecento underscores their importance to the cultural and political landscape of Tuscany and the Medici's role in shaping that history.

The "Allegory of the towns of Sansepolcro and Anghiari" is a testament to Vasari's skill as a painter and his ability to weave intricate historical and symbolic meanings into his art. His work in the Palazzo Vecchio is considered one of the high points of his career, and this particular fresco contributes to the grandeur and historical narrative that the Medici sought to project in their governmental seat.
