Government Official Appointed for Winter Olympics

19th August 2025

The Italian Government has appointed a senior official to oversee adaptations and accessibility for the Milan/Cortina Games.

Giuseppe Fasiol will work in coordination with sports authorities and host regions.

Operational responsibility will remain with the Milan-Cortina Foundation, but the new role will act as a bridge between ministries to ensure that adaptations and deadlines are met.

His work is expected to cover certifications, accessibility improvements, optimisation of internal flows and supervision of field tests prior to the event.

According to the government, Fasiol “represents the figure with the appropriate skills to assess and carry out the adjustments required for the specific needs of athletes and the adaptation of venues and competition fields”.
