The Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic organizing committee on Wednesday unveiled two official posters for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games - bold graphic depictions that officials said were meant to represent "the character of the destinations."

Posters have been commissioned for the Olympics since the early 20th century, becoming a piece of Olympic history. This year`s designs are the work of Italian artists Olimpia Zagnoli and Carolina Altavilla.

Zagnoli`s "Olympic Vision,`` a brightly colored poster for the Feb. 6-22 Games, features a central figure looking through glasses fashioned as Olympic rings against the backdrop of white mountain caps. Zagnoli said her poster captures both her hometown Milan`s sense of style and Cortina`s mountain location, while celebrating spectators and athletes alike.

Altavilla`s untitled poster for the Paralympic Games (March 6-15) depicts all six Paralympic Winter sports pulsing with movement and in a clash of pinks, blues and chartreuse. An image of Milan`s Duomo cathedral sits in foreground, and the athletes are crowned by three curved, comma-like symbols dubbed "Agitos," Latin for "I move."

Large versions of the posters will be on display along with the official torches at Milan`s Triennale design museum and other sites during the Winter Games. Smaller versions sell for 35 euros (nearly $41.)

The Milan-Cortina organizers previously released 10 artistic posters by five female and five male artists over the summer, also on display at the Triennale.
