The medals, the background, the records: all the numbers of Milan-Cortina

The Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina were a resounding success, achieving a historic haul of 30 medals and receiving praise from the International Olympic Committee for their organization.

The Winter Olympics held in Milan-Cortina has been deemed a remarkable success, scoring an impressive 30 medals for the Italian athletes, marking a record for the Winter Games. The event concluded with acknowledgment from the International Olympic Committee for the outstanding organizational efforts by the Italian government and the Milan-Cortina Foundation, highlighting the event's smooth execution and overall excellence.

The Casa Italia project, which took place from February 6 to 22, was a significant aspect of the Games, welcoming 120,000 visitors across various venues including Milan, Livigno, and Cortina d'Ampezzo. This initiative is noteworthy as it was the first time the Coni opened its doors to the public in such a grand fashion, showcasing not only the athletic achievements but also a wider cultural and social engagement with the public, occupying over 6,000 square meters of exhibition space.

With over 500 designer objects, 700 light fixtures, extensive digital displays, and numerous Olympic artifacts, Casa Italia served as a centerpiece for visitors to engage with the Olympics beyond the sports themselves. This combination of sporting achievement and innovative presentation underscores the potential for future international events in Italy to similarly blend culture and sportsmanship, galvanizing community involvement and national pride.
