Wanderlust Ice & Ink — Travel: Italy, On Site at the Olympic Games, Milan–Cortina 2026

Between the industrial heritage of Turin, twenty years after the 2006 Winter Olympic Games, and the architectural elegance of Milan, Italy is now living to the rhythm of the Milan–Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. In the piazzas, avenues, and arenas, sport intertwines with culture, design, and the spectacle of the city itself. More than a sporting event, these Games feel like a collective experience in which figure skating converses with history, art, and Italian identity. It is within this vibrant landscape that my Olympic immersion begins.
