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.
