Milano Cortina: the many lives of wood

As Milan prepares to host the Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, this itinerary looks beyond the town's slopes and into a material deeply rooted in its alpine landscape: wood. In the hands of Italian artisans, wood takes shape as sculptural forms, crafted frames, functional furniture and instruments with voices of their own. These makers, moving between tradition and experimentation, reveal how a single material can take on countless identities while still respecting the land it comes from. Wood, much like sports, is all about transformation, skill and creativity.
