It's the official flower ofd Turin 2006, a new kind of Camellia just invented in the Distretto Floricolo of Lago Maggiore. Icelake is the official representative flower, but it won't be the only one, since Rhododendrons and Azaleas will be together with it, all grown in the lake shores.

Did you know?
[3 Feb 06]


The 2006 Olympic Winter Games emblem portrays the unmistakable silhouette of the Mole Antonelliana. It is transformed into a mountain, among crystals of ice, where the white snow meets the blue sky. The crystals come together to form a web: the web of new technologies and the eternal Olympic spirit of communion among peoples.
