The siblings are on a journey to Milano Cortina 2026 after waking up one day to find a “new light” in the distance. They let their curiosity guide them and followed the light, which turned out to be the light of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
The two mascots, however, will not be alone on the road to Milano Cortina 2026. They will be accompanied by six little snowdrops, The Flo. The little flowers will be Tina and Milo’s best friends, bringing fun, games and happiness to the great adventure of Milano Cortina 2026.
Creative process
The unveiling of the mascots marks the end of the creative phase that started with a collaboration between the Organising Committee and the Italian Ministry of Education, involving primary and secondary school students who submitted over 1,600 creative ideas.
One year ago, two ideas were shortlisted and presented for a public poll at the Sanremo music festival. The ideas were stoats designed by students of the Istituto Comprensivo of Taverna from the region of Calabria and snowdrops proposed by students at the Istituto Comprensivo Sabin of Segrate in the region of Lombardia.
