The AmenCutti Experience: Where Magic Has a Home

Welcome to Ponzano Romano, a charming village where Christmas is a year-round state of mind. More than a visit, what awaits you is an emotional journey into the heart of a dream.

A Story to Live

The AmenCutti experience tells the story of its founder, a boy who never had a Christmas tree. This absence sparked a quest that lasted forty years, transforming a void into a collection of inestimable value and charm.

Every object, every decoration, is a piece of this story, a fragment of a dream now being shared.

A Journey Through Enchanted Rooms

As you cross the threshold, you'll find yourself immersed in a world of wonder, curated with an artist's precision.

The rooms along the exhibition path are true visual narratives:

• The Carousel Room: The beating heart of the experience. Amidst the delicate sounds of carousels and Santa's writing desk, the **"Tree That Isn't There"** stands out, a magical installation of a fir tree floating in mid-air, a powerful symbol of "Cutti's" childhood dream finally realized.

• The Fairy Tale Room: A world of enchanted villages and beloved characters. Here you'll find a beautiful "Christmas pyramid" with a revolving nativity scene, a piece of craftsmanship that will leave you breathless.

• The Circus Room: An explosion of joy and wonder, with circus characters arranged in impeccable artistic settings, personally created by the founder, Alessandro Consiglio.

• The Game Room: A fascinating Victorian rocking horse presides over a delightful model dedicated to transportation, a trip back to the sweetness of childhood.

Outside, the enchantment continues:

• Santa's Dining Room: A lavishly set table awaits you to celebrate the most important holiday of the year.

The collection, the result of a passionate global search, offers a high level of artistic curation.

It's an experience that leaves a lasting impression and a memory that warms the heart.

The AmenCutti Museum dedicated to Christmas:

Where Magic Becomes a Memory to Live

Welcome to Ponzano Romano, the village where Christmas lives every day

Have you ever dreamed of a place where the magic of Christmas never ends? Where the warmth of the holidays envelops the soul every day of the year? This place exists, and it's closer than you think. Hidden among the hills about 50 km from Rome, the village of Ponzano Romano, with its ancient Etruscan origins, holds a wonderful secret. Here, time seems to slow down to make room for wonder, transforming the entire town into a stage for perpetual enchantment: the AmenCutti Museum dedicated to Christmas.

Ponzano Romano isn't just the museum's location; it's its beating heart, a true "Christmas Village." The concept that animates this experience is that of a "widespread museum," an idea that dissolves the boundaries between the exhibition and the village itself. As you walk through its streets, particularly along Via Venti Settembre, you'll encounter large display windows that offer free previews of the magic that awaits inside.

They aren't just windows, but portals to enchanted worlds, which transform a walk into an exciting anticipation of the visit. This strategic choice makes the entire village an extension of the museum experience, an immersive world that welcomes visitors long before they step through the museum's threshold, making the journey itself part of the adventure.

The Tale of "Cutti": The Story of the Boy Who Dreamed of a Christmas Tree

Every object displayed at the AmenCutti Museum whispers a story, and each one converges into a single, moving tale: that of its founder, Alessandro Consiglio, who from a young age was known in his family by the nickname "Cutti." His greatest wish was simple and pure: to have a Christmas tree. However, this dream was denied by his mother, who considered a tree "trivial."

It was this "deprivation," this emotional void, that sparked his creative fire. Instead of giving in to disappointment, the teenage "Cutti" began using the little money he earned from craft jobs to secretly buy everything that had been denied to him. What started as a small rebellion of the heart turned into a passionate quest that has lasted for over forty years. It was a treasure hunt that took him around the world to find unique, rare, and hard-to-find Christmas items, building the Christmas he had always wanted, piece by piece.

Today, that treasure, jealously guarded, has become a gift for everyone.

The decision to create the museum comes from Alessandro's deep desire to share his "magical visions" with children, with romantic adults, and with all dreamers, offering them the genuine joy he had lacked. The museum is an act of generosity, the catharsis of a private dream that becomes a public sanctuary. The name itself, "AmenCutti," blends its creator's nickname with a word that evokes the fulfillment of a wish, almost a prayer answered. This deeply personal and heartfelt origin imbues every corner of the museum with an authenticity that sets it apart from any commercial attraction; visitors aren't here just to see decorations, but to witness a life story.

A journey into the heart of enchantment: the rooms and wonders of the museum

Stepping through the doors of the AmenCutti Museum means embarking on a journey into memory, a path designed to "tickle the memories and nostalgia of adults" and "catapult children into the sweetness and warmth of the most beautiful time of the year." Each room is a universe of its own, an artful setting curated with an almost obsessive precision, the result of an artist's aesthetic vision applied to a Christmas dream.

The tour through its wonders includes:

• Lia's House with the first four rooms that introduce visitors to Cutti's world. The visit begins with the “Christmas works” of Lia Onorati, Cutti's mother, extravagant objects that sparked her son's love for Christmas.  
• The Carousel Room and “The Tree That Isn’t There”: Considered the museum's beating heart, this room welcomes visitors with the delicate images of its carousels and Santa's writing desk. But the true masterpiece is the tree, a magical installation of a fir tree floating in mid-air, a powerful symbol of "Cutti's" childhood dream finally realized.
• The Fairy Tale Room: A world where children's most beloved characters come to life inside enchanted villages. A wonderful "Christmas pyramid" stands out, housing a revolving nativity scene, a breathtaking piece of craftsmanship.
• The Circus Room: An explosion of joy and wonder, where characters from the circus world are arranged in impeccable artistic settings, personally created by Alessandro Consiglio.
• The Toy Room: A Victorian rocking horse overlooks a delightful model dedicated to transportation.
• The Room with the Royal Peacock Tree: A sumptuous Christmas tree where a white peacock serves as the topper, and its tail wraps around the tree as if to embrace it.

Outside, you can also find:

• Santa's Dining Room: A lavishly set table to commemorate the most important holiday of the year.
• Santa's Office: The experience becomes interactive with the chance to see Santa's office. Here, a Santa Claus sits in front of the fireplace, ready to receive letters from the little ones, turning the visit into an unforgettable memory.

The collection, composed of unique pieces gathered over forty years of global searching, is arranged with a care described as "impeccable, perfect." This isn't just a simple collection of objects, but a high-level artistic curation that offers a visually sophisticated experience, capable of enchanting not only families but also an adult audience with a sensitivity for art and design.

Opening Hours: Magic by Appointment

To ensure an intimate, uncrowded experience for every visitor, the museum does not have fixed opening hours. Visits are regulated by an entry calendar, which can be viewed and booked exclusively online on this ticketing platform. This choice allows for better management of visitor flow and ensures everyone can fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the place.

More Than a Museum, an Emotion to Cherish

The AmenCutti Museum isn't a destination for those seeking strobe lights or a commercial Christmas. It is a "place of emotion and eternal charm," an invitation to slow down, remember, and rediscover the most authentic and profound meaning of the holidays: the one tied to the warmth of family, the wonder of childhood, and the joy of sharing.

The impact on visitors is profound and tangible. As a witness who has already experienced this magic testifies, "every visitor leaves the journey with a different state of mind: stunned, moved, surprised, but for everyone, the fact remains that you never leave the same way you came in." This isn't just a visit, but an experience that touches the chords of the soul and leaves an indelible mark.

Don't just buy a ticket. Give yourself and those you love a memory that will last forever. Come live the AmenCutti fairy tale, where a boy's dream has become a sanctuary for everyone's soul. Book your journey into enchantment now.
