The Mercurio train: tailor-made tours across Italy

Since 1948 we have been bringing magic to the squares of Italy with our puppets. Today we add a new chapter to our family story: a tourist train that brings events, parties and scenic tours to every corner of Italy — with the same passion that has fuelled our shows for three generations.

Our Train

The magical travelling train — Unforgettable journeys for adults and children

For over fifty years we have travelled the squares of Italy with our puppet theatre, bringing shows that blend tradition and entertainment. We have always believed that magic has no age. We see it every day when adults and children stop in front of our theatre, captivated by the adventures of Pulcinella. And we asked ourselves: how can we bring that same emotion beyond the square?

Listening to those who follow us, we realised we could do more — offer a service that kept the same authenticity but in a new form. The Mercurio Train is the natural evolution of our family mission. A way to accompany people of all ages through events, parties and scenic tours, with the same artisan care we put into crafting every puppet. We don't just offer a hire service: we offer an experience that carries our name, our story and our commitment to quality.

From local festivals to weddings, from historic town centres to corporate events, the train adapts to every occasion — always keeping what sets us apart: creating magical moments that stay with you forever.
