Building yard - Cantiere


Turin will be Olympic host city in February, and work has been going on round here since about three years for preparing the event. Between building yards and media events, the city has been also involved in several controversies . For example, the two Olympic mascots, named Neve and Gliz (Neve is the ball-headed bimbo) have divided the populace. Some people say the two they are boring and without any appeal, others say they are cute. While I do not want to express an opinion (even if pointing out that you can see through Gliz's head can be worthwhile), I would like to remind everyone that all olympic mascots tend to be rather... um... curious. What about having a look at the weirdest ones in the last years?

Torino sarà città olimpica a Febbraio, e i lavori hanno continuato da queste parti per circa tre anni per preparare l'evento. Tra cantieri e eventi mediatici, la città stata anche parte di svariate polemiche . Ad esempio, le due mascotte olimpiche, chiamate Neve e Gliz (Neve è la pupa con la testa a palla) hanno diviso la popolazione. Alcuni dicono che i due sono noiosi e senza attrattive, altri che sono carini. Anche se non voglio esprimere un'opinione (ma far notare che si può vedere attraverso la testa di Gliz può essere utile), vorrei ricordare a tutti che tutte le mascotte olimpiche tendono ad essere... um... curiose. Che ne dite di vederne alcune tra le più strane degli ultimi anni?
