Olympic Ice Rink in Piazza Esedra

The Olympic Ice Rink of Cesano Maderno

In the municipality of Cesano Maderno (Province of Monza and Brianza, Lombardy), Piazza Esedra hosts an ice skating rink every winter. For the edition linked to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, the municipal administration decided not to dismantle the rink set up for the Christmas holidays, extending its opening to let the citizens of Cesano experience the atmosphere of the Games.

Olympic spirit in the square

Although Cesano Maderno is not directly involved in the Olympic torch relay, the city has chosen to participate in the Olympic spirit through the ice rink, painted in Olympic colors and enriched with themed initiatives designed to engage citizens during the Games. It's a way to immerse the city center in the atmosphere of the great winter sports celebration.

Skating for everyone

The rink is open to families, children, and enthusiasts, who can skate in the heart of the city in a festive setting. To crown the experience, a special performance by skaters brings the charm of figure skating to the square, giving the citizens of Cesano a taste of the Olympic spectacle. An event that combines winter fun with collective participation in the Olympic event.

Cesano Maderno and the Olympics

Even cities that do not directly host the competitions can experience the spirit of the Games: this is the idea behind the decision to extend the ice rink. Although not touched by the torch relay, Cesano Maderno wanted to play its part in its own way, transforming Piazza Esedra into a small Olympic outpost with the colors of the five rings and themed initiatives. It is a gesture that tells of the pride and desire for participation of a community, and which offers citizens another opportunity to gather outdoors during the winter, sharing the enthusiasm for the major sporting event that Lombardy is hosting.
