The project was developed through a national competition sponsored by the Ministry of Education, University and Research, involving <strong>more than 1,600 Italian schools<\/strong>. The winner was the<strong>Sabin Comprehensive Institute of Segrate<\/strong>, in the province of Milan, with an idea that is as original as it is symbolic: <strong>Two ice hearts come to life to tell the values of sports<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept was then graphically transformed by the agency <strong>Landor &amp; Fitch<\/strong>, which kept true to the spirit of the school project, preserving the simplicity of the lines, the vitality of the colors and the universal message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who are Tina and Milo?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tina<\/strong>, mascot of the <strong>Olympic Games<\/strong>, is energetic, dynamic, dreamy. She represents ice that becomes movement, speed, determination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Milo<\/strong>, mascot of the <strong>Paralympics<\/strong>, it is reflective, tenacious, inclusive. It is ice that transforms into resilience, focus and hope.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both arise from <strong>ice fragments<\/strong> that come to life through the energy of sports and youth. Their colors are inspired by Italian landscapes: snow-capped mountains, alpine lakes and clear northern skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the purpose of Olympic mascots?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mascots are not just \"cute puppets,\" but <strong>ambassadors of Olympic values<\/strong>: They represent the joy, friendship, peace, and universality of sports. They speak to children, but also to adults, families, distant spectators, and those who view the Olympics as a time of global togetherness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tina and Milo were also designed for digital interaction, with <strong>animated versions<\/strong>, <strong>social content<\/strong>, <strong>stickers<\/strong>, <strong>filters<\/strong>, <strong>gadgets<\/strong>, and even <strong>a narrative voice<\/strong> in promotional videos. In addition, they are central to the <strong>teaching activities<\/strong> promoted by the Organizing Committee for Italian schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trivia about Milan Cortina 2026 mascots.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>They are the first Olympic mascots designed by students<\/strong> and selected through a national participatory process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The heart of ice is a <strong>symbol of duality<\/strong>: strength and fragility, movement and reflection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mascots will have <strong>a dedicated app<\/strong> where they will interact with the audience through quizzes, games and augmented reality content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each mascot wears a <strong>colorful scarf<\/strong> symbolizing the link between the two souls of the Games: Olympic and Paralympic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mascots are also featured in a <strong>international educational campaign<\/strong>, which tells the value of inclusion through animated fairy tales.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A message for the future<\/strong> Tina and Milo are not just mascots: they are <strong>messengers of an Italy that dreams and welcomes<\/strong>, which looks to the future with enthusiasm and awareness. In a world where every gesture has a greater meaning, the mascots of the 2026 Games carry with them the hope that <strong>Sports can unite, inspire and build bridges between generations and cultures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"amc-dopo-il-contenuto\" id=\"amc-3139818126\"><script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"1033\" data-bid=\"1\">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<\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le Olimpiadi e Paralimpiadi non sono solo sport, medaglie e record: sono anche emozione, simboli e identit\u00e0.
