- The village will host 1,700 athletes and officials, offering beds at an average monthly rent 25 percent below market rate, amid a city with scarce student housing and rising rents.
- Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini criticized Milan's centre-left administration and Mayor Giuseppe Sala, accusing them of poor negotiation efforts with private developers and warning against the city turning into an exclusive place for the wealthy that exploits the middle class.
- The site, once linked to drug dealing, has seen gentrification but organisers must quickly address unfinished details to ensure readiness for the Games starting February 6.
