US EditionItaly last hosted the Olympics in 2006. These women were there, and now are volunteers in Milan
Three Italian women who volunteered at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics are again helping at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games, joining about 18,000 volunteers across northern Italy.
- Cristina Romagnoli, Angela Frisina and Olivia Azzalin returned to volunteer at Milan Cortina 2026, with two having served at the 2006 Turin Games and one working for the local organizing committee.
- Having stayed active in a Turin volunteer alumni group for two decades, one volunteer gave support nationally, including at last year's Vatican Jubilee and the Eurovision Song Contest in 2022.
- At venues, volunteers are serving as ushers and venue staff, including at the women's ice hockey arena and the short track speedskating venue , with one volunteer previously working for the local organizing committee and later staffing a sponsor hotel with Visa in 2006.
- Long-Term volunteers say the experience changed their lives, with one noting it broadened her outlook and another saying it created lasting family ties, including a volunteer who met a colleague around the Turin Games and started a family afterward.
- Looking to legacy, volunteers say family and study obligations, like a son's university exams, limit some from participating fully in future Games.
