During the Opening Ceremony of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics at Milan’s San Siro Stadium, Italy showcased its soul to the world through a breathtaking performance, harmoniously blending the country’s culture, tradition, style, and identity.
One of the evening’s most powerful highlights was Andrea Bocelli’s performance of the famous aria Nessun dorma from Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot, a moment of profound emotional resonance for the global audience.
On this prestigious stage, the Maestro wore a pair of Blackfin Thunder Bay frames, a choice that reflects mutual esteem and shared values, further highlighted by the company’s ongoing support for the Andrea Bocelli Foundation. For Blackfin, this presence is a source of immense pride, occurring within a context that celebrated authentic Italian excellence and elegance before the eyes of the world.
