Esporre la bandiera ladina

In the heart of the Dolomites, where history is never silent but breathes in daily gestures, Cortina d'Ampezzo is preparing to welcome the world.

In view of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, the mountain speaks not only the language of sport, speed, and excellence. It also speaks — and above all — the language of identity.

It is from this awareness that the invitation of the Union de i Ladis de Anpezo, the ULd’A, arises: a simple, powerful, deeply symbolic gesture. To display the ladin flag on houses, balconies, and along the streets of the village. Not as an ornament, but as a declaration. Not as folklore, but as belonging.

The ladin flag is more than an emblem. It is shared memory, a language that resists time, a root that emerges in modernity. It is the visible sign of a community that, while opening up to the world, chooses to tell its story with authenticity, pride, and grace.

In the dialogue between the peaks and the Olympic future, Cortina thus affirms its deepest soul: the ladin one. An identity that does not expose itself to be noticed, but to be recognized. To remind that every great event thrives on places, and every place lives through the people who inhabit it.

The citizens of Anpezo are invited to collect the flag at the offices of the Union de i Ladis de Anpezo, at Corso Italia 31, from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. A moment of meeting, of transition, of continuity.

When the ladin flags begin to flutter among the alpine architectures and the Olympic lights, Cortina will not just be a host city. It will be a community that tells its story, with pride and modesty, to the ancient rhythm of its mountains.
