The recent closing ceremony of the Paralympics in Cortina, themed 'Italian Souvenirs', was designed to invoke cherished memories for athletes and guests alike. The event began symbolically with a snowflake’s journey, representing overcoming various challenges, which was reflective of the spirit of resilience characteristic of the Paralympics. However, unlike the opening ceremony in Verona that allowed more participants, the event saw limited attendance in its central arena, impacting the overall atmosphere.
