The Italia is a ski jump in the Italian ski resort of Cortina d' Ampezzo, in the province of Belluno / Veneto.
History
Already in the 20s of the last century there was the first ski jump in Cortina. It was a 40- meter hill in the suburb Zuel, which was expanded by a later extension to the 50 - meter hill. They bore the name Franchetti -Schanze by a local hotel owner, who had financed the ski jumps. On this hill the special jumping and jumping Nordic combined were held at the Nordic World Ski Championships 1927.
The first Italia, predecessor of today's ski jump was built in 1939 and used in the later canceled Nordic World Ski Championships 1941. The then 20 -year-old Sepp Weiler from Oberstdorf jumped at this World Cup with 76 meters hill record. Due to war-related irregularities in the vote him the victory, however, was not awarded. The entire world championships were canceled in 1946 by the FIS.
In preparation for the Winter Games in 1956, the hill was demolished in 1955 and rebuilt again. On December 8, 1955, the inauguration of the then most modern ski jump in the world took place.
