From its humble beginnings in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, the Fontanini Heirloom Nativities have risen to worldwide acclaim. Nearly a century after Emanuele Fontanini Sr. founded the House of Fontanini, its hand-painted Nativities grace the Vatican, international cathedrals and Hollywood films. Fontanini's unique blend of Old World craftsmanship and modern innovation has made classic Italian sculpture accessible to families everywhere, even the youngest child. Thanks to the remarkable medium of polymer, each figure resists breakage yet faithfully reproduces the exquisite detail of Master Sculptor Elio Simonetti's original clay design. Simonetti, the artistic genius behind the famed Fontanini Collection for over four decades, infuses every Bethlehem character with the human expression that makes each new creation so unforgettable. Start your own family tradition with an Heirloom Nativity, the heart of Christmas celebrations and cherished memories for generations. |
