Author. Creator of Wonder.
Storyteller who brings meaning to life.

My stories don’t stay on the page.
They awaken meaning, dressed in wonder, and invite you to live it.


About Giorgio Onorato Aquilani

I’m a writer and a creator of wonder. I don’t just tell stories, I make them walk into the world.
I wrote Back To Magic and founded The Kingdom of Santa Claus not to sell magic, but to give people a way back into it. Everything I create, from books to places, from characters to experiences, has one goal: to reconnect us with what really matters.
What makes my work different is this: it doesn’t stop at imagination… it enters reality.
I write what I wish someone had told me. And I build what I wish had existed when the world felt silent.

 “The stories I write are places you can walk into.”

Authorial Vision

 
I write because I believe stories are bridges. Between generations, between what we feel and what we live, between who we were and who we might become.
My stories are not fiction. They are truth made visible through symbols, places, and characters.
I believe in books that don’t end when you close them… but begin when you step into them.
In an age of speed and screens, I create spaces where people can remember, feel, and transform through story.

   "Believing means giving reality a chance before it materializes. That’s what I call faith."

Living Worlds I’ve Created

Here are some of the worlds I’ve brought to life… where imagination walks hand in hand with truth.

Back to Magic 

A cross-generational novel and screenplay, Back to Magic is the key to a universe of wonder, rediscovery and human transformation.
Set between London and a tiny village in Italy, this story is the beginning of something bigger: an international narrative project where reality and imagination collaborate.

“Magic isn’t something you find. It’s something you choose.”

From Page to Place: Stories That Come to Life

Some stories become school projects. Others become theme parks. Others still become movements of empathy, imagination and kindness.
Projects like The Upside Down Sky, Lucy and the Secret of Santalloween, Lucy and the Midnight Spell or The Magical Elfabet are not simply educational… they are entry points into living narratives.
My work turns stories into experiences that leave a trace inside and outside.

The Kingdom

What began as an immersive destination in Italy counting over 600,000 visitors per year, is now the gateway to a larger universe.
The Kingdom is more than a Christmas attraction. It’s the living threshold of a narrative world that expands through books, characters, rituals and emotional experiences.
A place where fantasy meets meaning, and memory becomes reality.
