17 Feb
Summary
- Two Olympic cauldrons' locations are undecided post-Games.
- Cauldrons are popular photo spots and feature light shows.
- Milan and Cortina plan to relocate the temporary installations.
The fate of the two visually striking Olympic cauldrons, symbols of the 2026 Winter Games, is currently undecided as Milan and Cortina discuss their relocation.
Both installations, celebrated for their unique design inspired by Leonardo da Vinci and their mechanical complexity, will be removed following the closing ceremonies.
These cauldrons have become major attractions, drawing crowds nightly for spectacular light and music shows in both Milan and Cortina.
Officials in Milan are considering potential new homes within the city, such as the Museum of Science and Technology or Palazzo Reale.
Cortina's mayor has expressed a strong desire to keep its cauldron as a permanent landmark, aiming for its placement by next summer.
The Olympic flame will be temporarily extinguished on February 22, with a new version igniting for the Paralympic Games from March 6 to 15.
