The story of the Games’ organized by Il Giornale.

«For the bob track an investment of 160 million was planned for Cortina, we will close it with 31 project variations and zero additional costs, using 118 million, therefore 42 million less than initially expected”. Saldini then underlined the difficulties in creating the other sites: «Fortunately there has been a lot of talk about Cortina and less about Livigno, because it is the most complex venue. On the Mottolino side, for the first time in the history of the Olympics, five races will take place in the same place. Livigno represents the emblem of our activity: it was by far the most difficult venue to create.”
