OLYMPIC GAMES
President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella officially inaugurated Casa Italia Milano, set up at the Triennale, on the day of the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games. Accompanied by his daughter, Signora Laura, he was welcomed by CONI President Luciano Buonfiglio, Secretary General and Chef de Mission Carlo Mornati and Minister for Sport and Youth Andrea Abodi.
Following a visit to the medal celebration hall, the President moved to the Triennale’s Salone d’Onore, where Signora Laura cut the ribbon, officially opening Casa Italia Milano.
Addressing the audience after the national anthem, CONI President Luciano Buonfiglio said:
“Casa Italia in Italy, Casa Italia at home. It is from here that energy, vision, tradition and efficiency begin. Today we are presenting Italy at its very best: a sporting, industrial and economic system united around the figure who embodies the unity of the Nation.”
President Mattarella followed with his own remarks, highlighting Casa Italia as both a window onto Italy and, on this occasion, a true gateway into the country – a place that expresses its character, culture and lifestyle.
The Head of State then toured the exhibition path, structured into nine sections, each dedicated to a muse inspiring a discipline, before joining athletes, Olympic champions and institutional representatives for lunch at Casa Italia.
