Livigno, 19.01.2026 – There are choices that tell more than many words.
The decision to host a Casa Italia location in Livigno during the 2026 Winter Olympic Games is certainly one of these.
A recognition of great symbolic and strategic value, which certifies the centrality of the location within the Olympic program and strengthens its role as a protagonist in one of the most important events in the country's sporting history.
Casa Italia has always represented the’cultural soul of the Games: an identity space, elegant and well-kept, that accompanies each Olympic edition like a true tricolor embassy at the heart of the event.
It is the place where athletes celebrate their medals, where sport meets art, design, culture, and Italian excellence, and where the Olympic narrative opens up to the world in all its complexity and beauty.
In Livigno, Casa Italia will take place in the spaces of Aquagranda or AQ1816 (named for the altitude of the location), the large multifunctional center that has represented the jewel of the sporting offer of the location for years.
It's a far from random choice, fitting into a coherent and structured growth path: AQ1816 has indeed been recently confirmed as an Olympic Preparation Center (CPO) until 2028, renewing its role as a technical reference point for high-altitude training of Italian and international athletes.
Olympic swimming pool, state-of-the-art gym, athletics field, wellness area, and outdoor spaces, all at 1,816 meters above sea level: Aquagranda is one of the very few places in the world capable of offering a complete ecosystem for elite sports preparation and altitude training.
The confirmation of the CPO and the arrival of Casa Italia in the same context convey a clear vision: Livigno is not just a host of competitions, but a platform for experiences, preparation, interaction, and representation.
The presence of Casa Italia during the Games thus adds an additional level of meaning to the Livigno winter: a space of welcome and narrative, capable of uniting athletes, institutions, and guests in a continuous dialogue between sport and culture, between national identity and international dimension.
A place where victory is celebrated, but where the journey, the effort, and the values also find a voice.
With the Games now just around the corner, Livigno continues to compose its Olympic mosaic with coherence and vision.
From the slopes to the facilities, from events to cultural excellences, every piece contributes to shaping a winter that will not only be memorable but profoundly representative.
Because here, sport is never just sport: it is storytelling, belonging, and a shared future. And the countdown has now entered its crucial phase.
