A Treasured Mary for Your Fontanini Nativity

Mary is more than another figure in the Nativity—she is at the heart of the scene. Her gentle pose and flowing garments bring warmth and grace to the manger, creating a beautiful focal point alongside Joseph and the Christ Child. At this impressive scale, the sculpted folds, expressive features, and subtle hand-painted details can be appreciated from across a room, making this piece especially suited to churches, chapels, parish displays, large home Nativities, and heirloom Christmas collections.

The Fontanini story began in 1908 in Bagni di Lucca, Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini established his small artisan workshop. Italian archival records confirm both the 1908 founding and the company's roots in Bagni di Lucca's centuries-old figurine-making tradition. More than a century later, Fontanini continues its tradition of Italian Nativity craftsmanship, with the company emphasizing detailed modeling, hand painting, and generations of family tradition.

When you shop Fontanini at House of Fontanini, you are adding to a tradition meant to be displayed, cherished, and passed from one generation to the next. For more than 25 years, House of Fontanini has proudly served collectors and churches from our Minnesota warehouse. We don't simply sell Fontanini—we love the tradition and the story these remarkable Nativity pieces help families tell.
