The chapter presents some reflexions on the mega event as a process of "production of territory". This theoretical approach is applied to the case of Turin's Olympic Winter Games 2006 through the examination of some specific issues: the new geography between the city and the montains, the territorialization process and the legacy for the city, the change of the city image and the effects of global crisis. The chapter concludes with further analyses on the relationship between the Olympic territorialization and the new geopolitical trend in favour of hosting mega-events.
