Milan-Cortina, Achille Lauro on stage at the closing ceremony

Rome, 16 February (LaPresse) – Achille Lauro will be on stage at the Closing Ceremony of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. One of the most iconic and recognisable Italian artists on the contemporary scene, he will perform on 22 February in the timeless setting of the Arena di Verona. Achille Lauro, a Roman singer, was born in Verona. “His participation finds a natural connection with the concept of the Closing Ceremony, entitled “Beauty in Action”. The title is a tribute to beauty in motion: that which lives in sport, is reflected in art, arises from human relationships and takes shape in the places that host the Games. Achille Lauro fully embodies the spirit of the event. His presence will help to create a memorable moment, strengthening the international appeal of the Ceremony and its connection with the younger generations,” reads a statement from the organisers. The link between the artist and Milano Cortina 2026 has already been expressed through his role as torchbearer.
