On the occasion of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, the Olympic Flame will pass through numerous iconic locations in Lazio, including some cities and sites managed by the Lazio Regional Directorate of National Museums. The Flame will be accompanied by the Cultural Olympiad, an initiative that celebrates art, culture, and sport throughout Italy.
