The 25th edition of the Winter Olympics will take place across Lombardy and Northeast Italy from February 6 until February 22, with anticipation building across the country ahead of the event.
At both the Summer and Winter Olympics, the torch relay is an integral part of the Games' build up, with the Olympic flame initially being lit in Olympia. Then, following a handover ceremony in Athens, it arrived in Rome with the torch relay moving through all 110 provinces of Italy, before eventually ending up at the San Siro stadium for the opening ceremony of the Games.
