VARIOUS OF TORCH RELAY THROUGH CAMPOBASSO IN THE DARK STORY:   The Olympic torch relay marked the start of a new year by leaving the Pulia region and heading into Molise and the city of Campobasso.  The torch was taken into the iconic Castel del Monte on it's way across Southern Italy. After being lit last month in ancient Olympia, the Greek home of the ancient Games, and handed over to Italian Games organisers in early December, the torch set off from Rome’s historic Stadio dei Marmi on December 6. The relay will span around 12,000km (7,450 miles), passing through all 110 Italian provinces and more than 300 municipalities in the build up to the 2026 Winter Olympics, which will be co-hosted by Milan and the Dolomite resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo and run from February 6-22, with the Paralympics to follow in March.
