The fate of the iconic 2026 Winter Olympics cauldrons in Milan and Cortina remains undecided. Despite their popularity, the cauldrons will be relocated after the Games. Possible new homes include local landmarks, with ongoing debate on their final placement to become lasting cultural symbols for the cities.
The celebrated cauldrons of the 2026 Winter Games in Milan and Cortina, crafted to symbolize the partnership between natural harmony and Renaissance engineering, face an uncertain future. Debates are ongoing as to where these symbols will eventually rest following the termination of their iconic flames.
Modelled after the sun and drawing from Leonardo da Vinci's intricate 'Knots', these cauldrons feature dynamic structures with hundreds of moving components and have captured the public's imagination during the Games. Their current locations are historical landmarks, but daily crowds remain unaware of their temporary nature.
Suggestions for their relocation include prominent cultural sites like Milan's Leonardo da Vinci Museum. In Cortina, the mayor affirms a desire to preserve the cauldron as a key tourist attraction. Regardless, these cauldrons have ignited a sense of civic pride and cultural conversation in both cities.
