The Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games have revealed their official posters, showcasing vibrant and symbolic designs that embody the spirit of the host cities. Created by Italian artists Olimpia Zagnoli and Carolina Altavilla, the posters were unveiled on Wednesday, marking a significant milestone in the lead-up to the global event. Posters have been a cherished tradition since the early 20th century, serving as both artistic expressions and historical artifacts of the Games. Zagnoli’s design, titled ‘Olympic Vision,’ features a central figure peering through glasses shaped like Olympic rings, set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains. The artist explained that her work reflects Milan’s iconic style and Cortina’s alpine charm while celebrating the unity of athletes and spectators. Altavilla’s untitled poster for the Paralympic Games captures the dynamic energy of all six Paralympic Winter sports, rendered in a striking palette of pinks, blues, and chartreuse. The design includes Milan’s Duomo cathedral in the foreground and incorporates the ‘Agitos,’ Latin for ‘I move,’ as a symbol of Paralympic movement. Large-scale versions of the posters, alongside the official torches, will be displayed at Milan’s Triennale design museum and other venues during the Games. Smaller prints are available for purchase at 35 euros (approximately $41). This follows the organizers’ earlier release of 10 artistic posters by a diverse group of artists, which are also on exhibit at the Triennale.
