The Fontanini Tradition
The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first shop in 1908. From humble beginnings, the family business grew into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines. Each piece is sculpted, molded, and hand-painted in a multi-generational, family-guided process.
Today, at House of Fontanini.com, we are proud to carry on that legacy through direct retail and e-commerce sales. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota small business has not only sold Fontanini — we truly love it. From our Minnesota warehouse, we live our mission:
“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
