The places of the Winter Olympics 2026
One of the decisive factors that made the choice fall on Italy was the proposal to use, for this huge event, a very large territory that includes even three regions: Lombardy, Veneto is Trentino Alto Adige. This division of the games, which can be achieved thanks to the presence of many existing systems, meets the demands of the IOC (International Olympic Committee), which is increasingly attentive to respect for the environment and the territory and to developing infrastructures. But Italy also won for its background of culture, history, artistic beauty and, of course, for its immense culinary tradition.
Milanese risotto, cassoeula, pizzoccheri: and we are already in Lombardy
It will be the stadium Stadio Meazza di Milan to host the opening ceremony of the 2026 Olympics. One of the three Olympic villages will also be built in the Lombard capital: it will be a permanent structure that will be built in the area currently occupied by the disused freight yard in the Porta Romana district. At the end of the event the structure will probably become a university building. The other places in Milan are: the Mediolanum Forum in Assago, the PalaSharp in Lampugnano, a new building built in the Santa Giulia district, the Rho-Fiera exhibition area and Piazza Duomo for the awarding of competitions that will take place in Lombardy.
Moving on to the Lombardy Alps, here is the Stelvio slope a Bormio and the Mottolino, Sitas-Tagliede and Carosello 3000 areas of Livigno. Here, in Little Siberia, as Livigno is called, a second Olympic village will also be built, destined then to become an advanced training center for Italian athletes.
Risi e bisi, casunziei: the Olympic Veneto to eat
Curtain it is already well under way, given that it will be the Pearl of the Dolomites that does the honors at the 2021 World Ski Championships. And now the 2026 Olympics have also arrived, which will see the Alpine town host a second opening ceremony, after that of Milan. The third Olympic village will also be built here: a temporary village that will rise in the hamlet of Fiames. The Dolomite structures for the races will be the Cortina Olympia delle Tofane track, the Eugenio Monti Olympic track and the Olympic Ice Stadium built for the 1956 Olympics and which will be completely renovated. A special feature: for the 2021 World Cup, a "team" of chefs was organized to cook for all athletes. The same chefs who usually prepare food for the World Cup competitions that take place here every year. This same delegation of chef will then be involved in the Olympic event.
We arrive finally we arrive at Verona: the Scaliger city will host the closing ceremony in its beautiful Arena.
Canederli and smacafam: the high flavors of Trentino-Alto Adige
In the autonomous province of Bolzano, the place that will host part of the Olympic games will be Anterselva.
Baselga di Piné, Tesero and Predazzo will instead be the places of the autonomous province of Trento.
In short: in the kitchen we are already unbeatable. Now it remains only to be so in sport!
