Livigno

Livigno is an Alpine resort in Italy selected as a venue for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, specifically hosting freestyle skiing and snowboarding events. It's newsworthy due to its preparations for the upcoming Olympics. Recent developments include fresh snowfall in the area, which is significant considering earlier concerns about the reliance on artificial snow. The resort's relevance stems from its role in the Winter Olympics, drawing attention to its infrastructure, environmental conditions, and overall readiness to host international sporting events. The death of a guard at a construction site near another Olympic venue (Cortina d’Ampezzo) highlights concerns about safety and working conditions related to the Olympic preparations, though this incident did not occur in Livigno itself.
