In anticipation of the 2026 Winter Games, tens of thousands of athletes, spectators and media have gathered in Milan — a global hub for fashion and culture.
In addition to hosting the Games, Milan is home to the Italian Stock Exchange and luxury shopping, and is known for the Duomo Cathedral and Leonardo da Vinci’s famous work of art, “The Last Supper.”
Olympic visitors this week have been greeted by cool temperatures, overcast skies and rain.
