Traveling with the Olympic Flame: an experiential space at Piovego, with the chance to become a torchbearer
30.05.2025
From June 3 to 6, a stand located at the Archimede Tower (via Trieste 63, Padua), home to the Department of Mathematics, will welcome students from the University of Padua to a temporary experiential space where they can learn about the history and emotions behind the journey of the Olympic Flame.
Open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the space will offer insights into the relevance of Olympic values in everyday life. Visitors will also have the opportunity to apply—via a QR code—to become torchbearers for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, joining the flame’s journey through 110 Italian cities from December 6, 2025, to February 6, 2026. The stand will also feature a 360° photo opportunity with the Olympic torch.
The space is created by Coca-Cola, the longest-standing partner in Olympic history, who will accompany the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Flame journey. The initiative is part of the GEN26 program by Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026, aimed at inspiring new generations through the Olympic and Paralympic sporting values.
This event is a unique opportunity to get involved in the lead-up to the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games by living an unforgettable experience—representing the University of Padua as part of a group of torchbearers participating in the Olympic Flame’s journey through the city.
