For the first time, the Winter Olympics opening ceremony is staged in two cities - Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo - while the athletes' parade takes place across four locations: Milan, Livigno, Predazzo and Cortina. The expanded format echoes the opening ceremony's theme, "Armonia," or harmony in English, emphasizing connection between territories and people.
