The 2006 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XX Olympic Winter Games, were held in Turin, Italy from February 10, 2006, through February 26, 2006. They marked the second time Italy hosted the Olympic Winter Games; the country has previously hosted the VII Olympic Winter Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1956. Italy also hosted the Games of the XVII Olympiad in Rome in 1960.
The official logo displayed the name "Torino", the Italian name of the city, but the city is known as "Turin" in both English and the local language, Piedmontese. The Olympic mascots of Torino 2006 were Neve ("snow" in Italian), a female snowball, and Gliz, a male ice cube. The official motto of the XX Olympic Winter Games was "Passion lives here".
The Turin metropolitan area at 1.7 million, is the largest city to have ever hosted a Winter Olympics; the title will fall to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, (2.1 million) when that city hosts the XXI Olympic Winter Games. The 2002 Salt Lake City games also claims this title because at the time of the Olympics its metropolitan population was 1,516,227Salt Lake population figures by the United States Census and some events were held in the Provo metropolitan area of 400,209Provo population figures by the United States Census, which the state of Utah calls a single metropolitan area of 1.9 millionUtah remark page 10 by the state of Utah and the U.S. government describes as two metropolitan areas in a single urban area.
