The Fontanini Legacy

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 Fontanini family business has grown into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines. Each piece is sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled artisans through a multi-generational, family-guided process.

Here at House of Fontanini, we proudly carry on that tradition through direct retail and e-commerce sales. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota small business has not only sold Fontanini — we’ve loved it. From our warehouse, we live out our mission:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”

Please note, the larger Masterpiece Collection (18" to 70" pieces) is typically stocked, but due to the intricate details and highter cost, some items are on a special order basis.  Please allow up to 120 days for the item to be sent from the workshop in Tuscany.  If you would like to check the availability, call our Parish Sales department at 507-469-9659 or email us.  We will gladly check for you!
