A Brief History of the Fontanini Brand
The Fontanini family began crafting religious art in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in 1908. What started as a small family workshop soon became one of the world’s most respected names in nativity artistry. Today, the company’s fourth generation continues this legacy, producing every Fontanini figurine with devotion, precision, and respect for Christian tradition.
Each piece is inspired by historical research, Biblical storytelling, and classic Italian sculpture — a blend that gives Fontanini handcrafted nativity sets their unmistakable authenticity.

The Story Behind Fontanini Nativity Figures
Every Fontanini nativity figure is a miniature masterpiece. Artisans carefully sculpt and hand-paint each character — from Mary’s serene expression to the texture of the shepherd’s robe or the gentle gaze of an animal.
Using fine Italian materials and color palettes rooted in Renaissance tradition, Fontanini artisans ensure each figure radiates authenticity, reverence, and love. The result is a work of art that embodies both faith and craftsmanship.
