Milano Cortina 1956-2026 Olympics Anniversary poster By Pierpaolo Rovero - 50x70cm

The "Anniversary 1956-2026" poster unfolds as a visual journey through time, weaving together past and present. On the left side, the ancient Cortina is evoked by iconic images from the past and by a tribute to Eugenio Monti — one of the region's most iconic and decorated athletes. At the centre, Cortina appears unchanged, portrayed through its symbolic elements: the mountains, the bell tower, the local wildlife, and everyday life in the town. Above, the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games logo acts as a unifying emblem, creating an ideal bridge between past and future. On the right, the poster turns to the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, showcasing all the sports we are going to enjoy in Cortina: bobsleigh, women's alpine skiing, luge, skeleton, and curling. This section highlights the contrasts and athletic evolution that have unfolded over the course of seventy years. Along the bottom, a snow-shaped graphic detail subtly recalls the 1956 iconic poster — not as a direct quotation, but as a gentle stylistic nod. At the very bottom, the number "70" becomes both a track and a window onto the athletes, symbolically linking the passage of time with the enduring spirit of the Olympic Games.
