From the Games organisers Olympics.com, its hard to find an explanation for it’s specific shape and design, but I found this more general info:

The Cauldrons, a powerful symbol of harmony between the two host cities and the territories of the widespread Games, have been created thanks to the partnership with Fincantieri, sponsor of Milano Cortina 2026, and are the result of a project by Marco Balich in collaboration with Lida Castelli and Paolo Fantin.

 - Fincantieri is a ship building company and Marco Balich is the Creative Director of the Milano Cortina Ceremonies.

Also found this on news.artnet.com :

A flame cauldron inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s intricate knot drawings and opening ceremony performances nodding to Antonio Canova and Italy’s architectural landmarks set an art / historical tone for the opening of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday night.

The weird thing about these Milano-Cortina caldera is that they were designed to fit inside the cramped space of the arch.  So, instead of letting the design imagination run wild, it is . . .ok, how do we get a little burning thingie in there without burning down the arch??  🫢
