"The Games are scheduled to run until February 22, concluding with a closing ceremony at the Verona Arena, ahead of the Paralympic Games, which will take place from March 6 to 15. As a large-scale international event, the Olympics place significant demands on sports infrastructure, transportation networks, accommodation, and tourism capacity, offering early indications of the longer-term urban, architectural, and territorial impacts the Games may leave behind."
"These Games have been noted for their ambitious territorial deployment, marking the first Olympic Games with two official host cities. As a result, athletes, delegations, and spectators are spread across multiple locations in Italy, with athlete accommodations situated in Milan, Predazzo, Bormio, Livigno, Anterselva, and Cortina d'Ampezzo. Of these six sites, only one involves a newly constructed building: the Milano Olympic Village, designed by SOM, in line with a strategy that emphasizes the reuse and recovery of existing infrastructure."
Milano Cortina 2026 opened on February 6 with ceremonies staged across four northern Italy locations, with the main event at Milan's San Siro Stadium featuring dance, performing arts, and international artists including Mariah Carey. Several competitions began on February 4, and the Games run through February 22, concluding with a closing ceremony at the Verona Arena, followed by the Paralympic Games from March 6–15. Hosting is distributed across Milan and three Alpine areas—Cortina d'Ampezzo, Valtellina, and Val di Fiemme—placing demands on sports infrastructure, transport, accommodation, and tourism. Athlete accommodations occupy six sites; only the Milano Olympic Village was newly constructed by SOM, opened February 1, housing 1,559 residents from 42 delegations, with planned post-Games conversion.
