Bracciano is a small municipality of around 18000 inhabitants in the province 
of Rome near Lake Bracciano, also known as Lake of Sabatino. According to some 
information that has reached me, this flag derives from that of the Province of 
Rome. You can see that the mayor of Bracciano is also holding a variant with the 
town's coat of arms on it which depicts an arm holding a rose.
An image 
of the flag at 
https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BlauGrana.svg is spurious.

 The presented image, although indeed claimed by Italian Wikipedia to display 
the flag of Bracciano: 
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracciano is actually a generic Web image, 
meant to serve as a Web page button.
Also, in comparison with the flag image 
from the CISV website: 
http://www.cisv.it/rosso/bandiere3.html (image:
http://www.cisv.it/rosso/braccianos.gif) the colors are reversed. The flag 
photos available online:

These photos clearly reveal this 
error, as well as the fact that the shade of blue is indeed a lighter one and 
the other color is closer to magenta than red (compare with the mayoral sash in 
national colors). The municipality also has a gonfalon, the shape of which may 
vary and which is sometimes used jointly with that of the province:
