A few weeks ago, we gathered in front of our television sets to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremonies in Milan, Italy. 

The 2026 theme “Armonia (Harmony)” reflected several dimensions: city and mountain, man and nature, classical and contemporary. Overall, it spoke to the complexity of the world and offered a message of unity and peace, “[Celebrating] a world where differences inspire dialogue—and beauty.”

Primary colors expanding into a full spectrum, costumes that crossed into fashion, a mix of musical styles. Moments that seemed chaotic and free but that fit within a larger structure.
