It is a common thinking that the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics have radically changed the city. Carrying on a process of change, which began with the 1995 city plan, the Olympic Games of 2006 were the turning point. If the new post-industrial attitude of Turin, can be defined as substantially successful, the real legacy of the Olympics, meaning functional renewal, is not without difficulties. Among the many projects created, including more than 65 sport facilities, villages for athletes and various infrastructure, supported by substantial investment - about 3.5 billion euro, of which almost half allocated by the Government – only few of them seem to be well integrated in the daily urban and alpine context. Ten years after the inauguration of the Olympic Games, in addition to the projects of great value and utility as the subway, the Palasport by Arata Isozaki and the restoration of the Palavela, others have dramatically lost their function. The former Moi Olympic village is an example, nowadays heavily ruined and partly occupied by refugee families. Among the sports facilities are two of the most representative cases: the bobsleigh track at Cesana, costed 110 million euro, never used after the Olympics and finally closed, and the Olympic ski jump, which costed 34 million euro, with an annual maintenance cost of more than a half million Euros a year, used only twice more after the games.
