Passion,
Brotherhood
and Journey into Italian Culture

.The dominant theme of this ceremony was Passion, a feeling that unites beyond differences among people. Passion for sports, beauty, creativity, art, style, tradition, and the environment. Italian style and creativity were represented and narrated through unique scenography and choreographies, extraordinary light shows, and a memorable soundtrack. Values of solidarity, brotherhood, and dialogue among peoples and cultures were highlighted by athletes from South and North Korea who marched together for unity. The heart of the show was an extraordinary representation of Italian culture and aesthetics. This spectacle, never seen before, took the audience, numbering over a billion spectators, on a fascinating journey from the Renaissance to the Baroque, the most fertile period of creativity, taste, and culture in our country.

Emotions and Great Artists
Spark the Olympic Games

The ceremony was embellished with prominent artistic contributions, with performances that touched the emotional chords of the audience. Among the artists who made the event unforgettable were the first étoile dancer Roberto Bolle, Yoko Ono with her poetic reading of the famous song "Imagine" by her husband John Lennon, and Luciano Pavarotti's performance of "Vincerò." Each of them contributed with their talent and charisma to make the opening ceremony of the 2006 Turin Olympics an extraordinary and unforgettable moment for all spectators. The event culminated with the lighting of the Olympic torch designed and built by Pininfarina, officially marking the beginning of the Olympic Games.
