Piazza Cesare Battisti is transformed into the Olympic Heart of Trento: a daily meeting point for practicing and experiencing sport, with a giant screen, skating rink, sporting activities, and social events involving associations, families, and audiences of all ages.
A few steps away, the Spazio Ex Niccolini welcomes the cultural and narrative dimension of the project, with talks, workshops, an Olympic bookshop, publishing exhibitions, and the official temporary store of Milano Cortina 2026. Two complementary venues that, following the competition calendar, intertwine sport, cinema, culture, and community, making Trento a true Olympic square.
