Olympics
Two years have passed. More than ever, the city has been launched into the unstoppable process of transformation that culminated in the Olympic month, which saw it definitively consecrated as an international protagonist in the fields of sport, culture, business and tourism.
A small triumph of humanity has accompanied this urban regeneration, adding further to the vast heritage of infrastructures that are a legacy of the Games. The XX Winter Olympics have changed the perception of Turin in the world. In the eyes and heart of every citizen, the city was reborn under the banner of sentiments and values which, despite always having been a part of its DNA, have never been brought to the forefront with such force, passion and enthusiasm. In more than a month of competitions, prize givings, concerts and celebrations, Turin has learned to look at itself through the eyes of the world, to feel and live as a great European city.
And the events that have already been confirmed, which, since the beginning of 2006 have seen the city involved with sport, culture, design and historical commemorations, attest to a course directed towards a future that has already started to become a reality: Turin World Capital of the Book with Rome, the Winter World University Games of 2007, the World Congress of Architects in 2008 and the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy in 2011are just some examples of the scenario that awaits us, while.
In the meanwhile, however, there is nothing to stop us immersing ourselves in the recent past and enjoying the warm party atmosphere of the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics once more.
So here are the details of the installations and sites used during the games, the gallery of Olympic and Paralympic photographs, the videos of Turin Olympic City. Everything we need to relive the incredible excitement of a world event that has opened the doors to a new era for Turin.
