The Leo Amici House Museum is open all year round, by appointment, can be visited with a guide and free materials are available to visitors.

It is located at Lake Monte Colombo, in the hinterland of Rimini, a place that Amici himself conceived and designed and which he initiated in 1983 through the first example of crowdfunding among thousands of people.
Leo Amici was one of the first promoters of private volunteering in Italy and Europe. An enlightened forerunner of secular associationism (in Italy only in the second half of the 1990s would voluntary associations be regulated, previously only Catholic organisations or mutual aid organisations), in 1983 he founded the Dare voluntary association, the development of which Leo Amici, together with Maria Di Gregorio, Daniela Natale and Carlo Tedeschi, would implement around the large wooden table in the living room of his museum house. From the hills of Romagna, therefore, comes a strong signal of solidarity, which will permeate all his and the volunteers' work, even after his death.
He was the founder of the 'Little Country Outside the World', known as Lake Monte Colombo, where the Dare Association he founded operates and the operational arm of the Leo Amici Foundation, legally recognised and registered in the prefectural register of legal persons.

A forerunner in the recovery of depressed areas: the area where Lake Monte Colombo is located was part of an area defined as 'depressed' in the Conca Valley . The recovery of that 20-hectare area, with a project of aggregation and reception facilities, especially for young people, is a project idea of Leo Amici that the Dare Association and the Leo Amici Foundation have fully developed over the years.
The value of the illustrious: Alongside his activities aimed at solidarity, which have been widely documented by the Foundation and which have touched both the national territory and abroad, also witnessed by the numerous offices that the foundation currently has in Italy and in other countries, Leo Amici has carried out an intense cultural activity, closely linked to the values of solidarity, peace, love and brotherhood among peoples and which were at the basis of his concrete words and works.
His cultural and literary activity is evidenced by his writings, responses, poems and maxims published after his death by the Dare Association, and by the house museum with the SENTITO MUSEUM, details of which can be found below. He is also the founder in 1983 of the Compagnia RDL, Ragazzi del lago, which has been on stage continuously since 1986 with shows in major Italian theatres and based at the Leo Amici Theatre at Lake Monte Colombo.
Leo Amici has used theatre as a prevention tool against juvenile deviance. So much so that his first dancer, the current choreographer of the theatre company, a multi-award-winning and accredited actor in the sector, was the protagonist of the film scripted and directed by Leo Amici "La verità di un ragazzo" (The Truth of a Boy) concerning the recovery of a young man from the whirlwind of drug addiction.
In the Leo Amici museum house there is a photo showing Leo together with Angela Bandini on the occasion of the first record set by the Rimini athlete in 1985. He was the proponent of the famous freediver's record, focusing on the fundamental elements of her athletic and psychological preparation. On 14 September 1985, in the waters of the Island of Elba, Bandinì conquered her first world record in variable ballast with -52 metres, and then reached -107 metres in '89, the absolute CMAS world record, breaking the -105 achieved by Jacques Mayol in 1983. She was the first woman to break a male apnea record. Bandini dedicated the record to Leo Amici.

In recent years, the Leo Amici Foundation, which owns the building, has proceeded to recover artefacts and testimonies related to Leo's life that had partly disappeared. At the same time, the documentary activity carried out by the recorder and writer, Carlo Tedeschi, president of the Foundation, has resulted in the editing and publication of a series of texts documenting exactly the phases of Leo Amici's life. Entitled 'Leo, the Timeless Man', the series can be consulted and is available to the public in the museum house.

The Leo Amici House Museum represents the essence of the illustrious character. Divided into various rooms, equipped with a book office, a space for video projections and documentation, with panels explaining the figure of the illustrious man, it houses, in addition to his personal effects representing his life and experiences with various objects, the Museo Sentito. The various works inside were collected by him and are exclusively the result of donations from private individuals to the illustrious person, a sign of testimony and recognition of his figure. Several of the works are personal donations from people who carried out voluntary work, including for families in difficulty in different parts of Italy and even the world. The inspiration to carry out these 'missions' came precisely from Leo Amici who, on the basis of his principles of humanity, fraternity, hospitality and helping others, promoted mutual aid initiatives between various people. Thus numerous objects come to this House Museum;
it is Leo Amici himself who set aside a room for the so-called 'Museo Sentito' .
The Museo Sentito is by definition a place where objects that are the result of their being donated, the expression of feelings of gratitude and friendship, are deposited. At present, the collection consists of numerous works of art of various kinds, but over the years Leo Amici himself collected many more pieces in this collection, which were used by him to subsidise and support the construction of the "Piccolo Paese" (Small Town) or Monte Colombo Lake, a construction that would not see full completion as he died on 16 April 1986. Therefore, it bears witness to the values of the well-known personage who lived and worked there, marked by the growth of a culture of voluntary work and collaboration between people. Here, at the same time, both the public and private dimensions of Leo Amici are witnessed.
Completing the exhibition of the illustrious man's home is the connection to the Leo Amici Museum, a treasure trove of contemporary art
Not far from the illustrious man's house, inside the Monte Colombo Lake complex, is the "Leo Amici Museum", which houses several exhibition rooms full of works of various kinds, including those by contemporary artists: paintings, sculptures, iconographic material, videos, etc. Three spaces are dedicated to Leo Amici. The first two rooms beyond the main entrance and the basement complete the documentary offer on Leo Amici's life, precisely because it is physically impossible for the House Museum to contain all the available materials. In detail: after the entrance to the "African Room" that gathers all the artefacts donated thanks to him and coming from that continent, on the right one enters the "Room of Leo's life story". created in stages with 16 panels displaying his phrases and mottos. Awards and prizes attributed to him are also displayed here. In the basement, the tale is told in images, subdivided by years, with the salient stages and a projection room with seats for the narrative videos of Leo's life story. The documentary offer is completed by an "open-air museum", i.e. a series of bronze bas-reliefs, six in all, depicting episodes from Leo Amici's life; statues located around the perimeter of the lake, and a photographic exhibition with the stages of the creation of the Monte Colombo Lake structures.
