RefurbishmentOct 12, 2016#

Sbandieratori di Sansepolcro was reported on October 12, 2016 to be no longer performing at Epcot's Italy pavilion, with no replacement act announced.

Disney gave no reason and published no final performance date; the act's official Disney webpage was also taken down, and follow-up coverage six days later confirmed the show had closed. Because October 12 is when the removal was reported rather than a confirmed last show, the closure is recorded at month precision.

Sbandieratori di Sansepolcro, a flag-throwing troupe from Sansepolcro, Italy, soft-opened in the Italy pavilion courtyard at Epcot with seven scheduled performances a day.
