Verona prepares its ancient arena for the Olympics Closing Ceremony on Sunday
About 1,500 athletes will celebrate in a ceremony featuring Italian music, dance, and a climate change-themed stage in Verona’s ancient Arena di Verona.
- On Sunday, Verona will host the Closing Ceremony inside the Arena di Verona, with about 1,500 athletes celebrating the Milan-Cortina Games.
- Because Cortina was considered too small and remote, organizers chose Verona for its unique ancient venue and central location, aiming for about 12,000 attendees.
- This week, rehearsals inside the Arena involved about 350 volunteers, with seamstresses finishing costumes and producer Alfredo Accatino promising surprises from the tunnels.
- Organizers have retrofitted the Arena di Verona with wheelchair ramps and accessible restrooms, and a light show will replace fireworks to protect animals during the ceremony.
- The Verona Arena will host the Paralympic Opening Ceremony on March 6, and the stage, inspired by a drop of water, symbolizes climate concerns and the transition to France.
