Fontanini Collectibles
This famous line has been an important part of Christmas tradition for
almost one hundred years. These collectibles were created in a small
village in Tuscany, Italy. The creators have been working on these
intricate figurines for over four generations, with the help of family
members and others who live in the village.
Before any piece is introduced into the collection, a team of
researchers ensures that the pieces are historically correct. A
carefully chosen panel determines the final outcome of what pieces will
be added. Each piece is crafted through a rigorous process: a sculptor
begins the initial piece and upon final approval, a smaller mold is
made. Once the mold has been produced, several people contribute to
hand paint each individual piece.
Breathtaking in detail and workmanship, Fontanini
Nativities are comprised of lifelike figures and historically
researched structures in eight different sizes that together present an
extraordinary step back in time to Biblical Bethlehem. Each figure is hand painted and
Fontanini guarantees that the polymer pieces will never chip or break.
Each
piece comes with a collector's card, providing extra, often legendary,
details of the particular character.
