The architects of the San Siro stadium, which is set to host the Opening Ceremony of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, have had their copyright claim turned down by the Italian Government.
Designers of the renovated stadium had argued the third tier of the football stadium was a unique concept and was eligible to be protected under copyright, but this request was rejected.

Corriere della Sera has reported that the architects behind the third tier of the stadium - Enrico Hoffer, Giancarlo Ragazzi and engineer Leo Finzi - had asked the Ministry of Culture to grant copyright protection due to its artistic value, in line with Italian design law.
