Matthew the Shepherd – Fontanini® 5" Collection
House of Fontanini – Item 57549

The Fontanini Nativity tradition lives on at HouseOfFontanini.com, a legacy that began more than a century ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. From those humble beginnings grew a world-renowned family business celebrated for heirloom-quality Nativity figures. Each piece is meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled Italian artisans using durable polymer—preserving a multi-generational commitment to craftsmanship.

For over 25 years, HouseOfFontanini.com has proudly carried this tradition forward as a locally owned small business. From our Minnesota warehouse, our mission remains: “Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”

Matthew the Shepherd captures a timeless expression of care and devotion. Depicted carrying a lamb gently across his shoulders, Matthew wears a flowing robe in soft earth tones complemented by a richly patterned red and gold cloak. The lifelike texture of the lamb’s wool contrasts beautifully with Matthew’s weathered features, bringing warmth, narrative, and depth to your 5" scale Nativity village.
