Alessandro Morelli, the Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, and previously Vice Minister for Infrastructure tasked with overseeing the Olympics, has taken on a pivotal role in monitoring the preparations for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. He emphasizes that the event has already received accolades for its exemplary organization, notably from athletes who have praised the facilities, including the bob track in Cortina, which is lauded as one of the most beautiful in the world. These sentiments reflect a broader recognition of Italy’s ability to host major international sporting events efficiently.

Morelli asserts that these upcoming games are set to be the 'most beautiful Olympics ever', a claim supported by record-breaking viewership statistics during the inauguration, with over 60% of share on Rai and more than 9 million viewers. The positive reception is not only attributed to traditional sports but also to those less familiar within the country, such as freestyle skiing in Livigno. This showcases Italy's capability to successfully integrate various sporting disciplines into the Olympic framework.

Looking ahead, Morelli speaks of the legacy of the Olympics, particularly in terms of economic impact and visibility. The Games are expected to open new markets and opportunities, fostering connections across the globe. The excitement surrounding these upcoming events may lead to lasting benefits, making the investment in infrastructure and organization a seed worth cultivating for Italy’s future in global sporting events.
