Abstract
“Citius, altius, fortius” (“Faster, higher, stronger”): to what extent does the motto of the Olympics relate to Torino 2006? Has the XXth edition of the Winter Olympics continued the positive trend whereby each edition, with only a few exceptions, surpasses the one before? In which areas have there been improvements, if any? To what extent have the targets set by the bid promoters and the organizers been achieved, or missed? Finally, on what foundations and from which perspectives have Turin and its Olympic surrounding valleys managed to plan, and how are they preparing to make the most of the heritage of the Games, which is now the main reason that drives a city (and a country) to bear the expensive challenge of their organisation? In this essay, primarily from an economic point of view, we will attempt to respond to these questions, in the knowledge that more complete answers will come at a later stageFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
