The Mascots
They are the mascots of the XX Olympic Winter Games to be held in Turino, Italy. Neve is a snowball, kind, gentle, and elegant. Gliz, an ice cube, is lively and playful.
They are the creation of thirty-eight year old Pedro Albuquerque, a Portugeuse designer. Albuquerque won the international competition sponsored by the Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games in Turin (TOROC). His inspiration was his passion for water and the shapes water cand take on when it becomes snow or ice. Also inspiring his creations were the Italian spirit and the places which will play host to the games and the characteristics of the various sports disciplines of the Olympics.
Neve and Gliz are the personification of the spirit of Italy and the games, the passion, enthusiasm, culture, elegance, and love of the environment and sport. Neve and Gliz symbolize the young generation that is full of energy and life.
